UNTIDY STREETS.

ro THE EDITOU Sir.—Being in the streets twice to-day, morning and night, 1 could not help wondering why the people make them so untidy. Surely there is no need to litter up the” streets with paper, cigarette packets, cigarettes, tram tickets, and shop receipts, ami then expect, someone to sweep it all np. There are rubbish receptacles to put filler in, whore it could be collected easily, and he either destroyed or used for patriotic purposes.—l am, etc., Dunedinite. August 27. COMPULSORY UNIONISM. ro tub Ennon Sir.—ln supporting “ A Victim,” 1, too, strongly object to being compelled to join a union at. a cost of 31s. The trade union bosses delight in tlcocing returned soldiers who have been compelled to enter reserved occupations after fighting for freedom —socalled Many of ns returned men arc graded medically until; for any form of military 7 service, whether in New Zealand or elsewhere, and our health is in such a state that we lose a good deal of time without being worried by threats of fines according to union rules for non-payment of a compulsory 31s fee. Compel these union bosses and their office staffs to go on the land and help the farmers, and give to ns our freedom, our just rights, instead of being kept in fear of what the consequences of trade unionism and its “ Gestapo methods ” will be.—l am, etc., Fair Dinkum Bombed.
