"The ‘neighbouring’ of employer and employee is very difficult at present for many reasons, there being faults on both* sides.” said Mrs M. H. Chntficld in her lecture to Senior Cadets at the Community Club at Wellington. “If you are placed in the position of an employer later on. see that you treat vour employees as veu would wish to he treated if you were in their place. That is a safe rule, and comes from the greatest Socialist who ever lived upon earth. Tf you are an employee, give of vour best, and he as ashamed of a poor day’s work as you would he of robbing a till. These are just two wavs of iieing dishonest and the only thing to choose between them is the fact that one is punishable by law and the other is not.”

What are generally known as “dead heats” have been fairly frequent visitors to (ireymouth recently, says the “Grey Star.” Their presence is probably' a .result of the hard times in other parts of the Dominion, and is anything hut welcome to local business people. A hairdresser stated this morning that he had many such visitors. Their usual procedure was to establish a footing by paying for a few shaves and “nmokcs.” The next step was an attempt to trade on the generosity of the shopkeeper hy a hnrdluok tale. It was hard to refuse a man a shave or a packet of cigarettes if he was “broke” lmt the expense amounted in time to a tidy sum. “The limit was reached this morning,” he concluded, “when a healthy-looking chap came into the shop and coolly asked for sixpence to save his life! Sixpence happens to be the price of a, beer, so there was nothing doing. He may he dead bv this time, hut 1 doubt it.”

“We must get rid of the rotten system of co-operative contracts,” declared Mr R. P. Hudson (Motuekn) in the Hoiise of Representatives last week. Ho was urging that the farmers Ought tot he given a chance' to do for themselves some of the development work for which the Government paid in the country districts. “If a man takes up a co-operative contract and does more than a certain amount of work, he is penalised. If the price is fixed on a basis for 15s a. day and the man earns 17s 6d the result is 'that the price is cut down,” said Mr Hudson. “That sort of thing will never suit the settlers who might take up these contracts ” The member suggested that country settlers ought to be allowed to take up road contracts and other Government jobs in their own district and their own way. They might work for a few hours early on a summer s morning and then go to milk the eows; oi they might put two days woik into one day, working with an energy that was common enough on the farms, but that could not be demanded bv any employer.
