MASTERS AND SERVANTS.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Sir,—l think in the interest of the employers it is my bounden duty to point out the necessity of some of our Representatives framing an Act for the protection of masters and servants, such an Act to bear that title. As it has come under my notice on several occasions, in my business capacity as labour agent, of the evils and the great inconvenience that employers are put to through servants engaging, and at the same time have no intention of fulfilling such engagements, and their thorough incapacity for the work they undertake, and also putting the employers to the expense and trouble of again coming to town. On the other hand, it is also of equal importance for the working mens' interests to have some provisions also, as if often occurs that men are induced to go long distances up the country, and have to put up with very inferior accommodation, in addition to the great difficulty (in many cases) of obtaining their wages. Trusting that some more able pen will take the above in hand, and apologising for trespassing on your valuable columns. Trusting you will insert the above, I am, Sir, Yours, &c, JOHN JULIUS PARKER, Labour Agent, Christchurch. Market Place, July 23rd, 1875.
