TOM MANN.
HIS IMPRESSIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, Sept. 30. Mr Tom Mann was welcomed at the Trades Hall. Interviewed, he said : I would not care to express myself very fully in regard to some phases of life in New Zealand, but, speaking industrially, my mind would be exceedingly glad to find the same condition of things at Home. If any man at Home were to ask me about the place, I should say : “ You receive 15s more weekly for an hour a day less. Of that 15s. you spend half, because of the higher cost of living. That leaves you a margin of 7* 6d for an hour a day less work.” He spoke in high commendation of the New, Zealand Arbitration Act.
