SUNDAY WORK.
(To the Editor of the Times.)
"Sir,—ln reading the Times on Tuesday, I noticed that your reporter got a rebuff when he went poking about where ho was not wanted, looking at men working on Sunday. Work, if not done on Sunday as it is done in all the largo towns, would have to be done on Monday. Would your scribe like to see about fifty men sitting down on the railway all day on Sunday, waitiug for the engine to get overhauled ? Now, sir, if you want to see Sunday work, kindly walk down the wharf on Sunday, and first you will see men in all directions working, shipping travellers’ samples, and shipping horses. Of course, that is a necessity. Then look over at the freezing works, and you will see about thirty men shaking wool in the paddock. Of course, that is necessary. Then, last of all, go to the Times office, and you will see about ten men working, picking type and doing various other jobs. And what about the reporter'? Is he not out earning his own living ou Sunday, or elso ho would not have been cruising around the engine-shed ? —I am, etc., Fair Play.
