THE REPORT OF THE IMMIGRATION OFFICER.

To the Editor of the Olohe. Sin, —The above report will no doubt be very satisfactory to the employers of labor, See., but what I, as a working man and a fa'her of a family should have liked to. have seen included in it, was a statement that no more would be brought out for the next seven years, then perhaps 5s per day would not be thought a fair day’s wage. As to there being no disturbance of the labor market, I make you a present of that remark. .1 maintain that no man is justified in remaining if he can get out of this country, for less than 8s per day, and lose wet time, or 7s wet and dry. What does it mean about domestics being found ? Does it mean clothes ? It cannot mean tucker, can it ? Because the last time I saw one of my sisters in the old country she was getting over ,£3O in a private family, and I have a brother, who is a real agricultural laborer, who would not come hero if you offered him 10s per day, and he has got more pounds than I have pence. I hope some of you will live to regret the treatment you are dealing out to the working men of this colony. The best thing I can advise them is to form an Emigration Society and open up some other country. I think the Australian colonies would be glad to receive the whole of those who attended the Immigration Office the other week. Yours, &c., AN EX-IM MK iRATION OFFICE!!.
