WEDNESDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.

(To the Editor). Sir—l a hit ad much odcrcation, but strike me I niet some cowes .two day (business men they said they wo?) who wanted Wednesday ’arf ’oliday, so I comes 'ome to Liza and sez • Wot yer fink, Liza, they wants ther blinking ’arf day changed to Wednesday. Liza sez : “I don’t believe yer, Bill; don’t yer link the joint is crook enough now wif no blinking hotels without tryin’ tp make it werse ?” “Well, sez I, “there yer are, wot yer goin’ to do about it?” “I fink yer better rite to the ‘Gasst’ and 3° yci better rite to the Gasset and do yer best for yer mates,” sez Liza. "I’ll help yer to rite the blinkin’ letter and spell the werds.” So ere goes. Wot do yer want Wednesday forp ? Don’t yer fink me and Liza want a wcak-end orf now and agen, and, as Liza sez, there is only won blinkin’ day ter have horf, and that is Saterday (ain’t it, kid), and 1 sez “Yes, yes. yes, three blinkin’ times, rite out load, two. “Good night, Liza. She’s gorn to bed, so T will 'ave to do my best on me blinkin’ own to finish this ’ere letter. Well, J don’t fink yer go: a chance Mr Wednersday, so I tell yer strait. Wif even waits I fink Mr Saterday will be home on the bit. Wot about the gerls who work in the ,sh rps, and boys, too; don’t yer fink they need a little konsideration ? Some of the pore kids won’t 'ave a vote, but if they did, Mr Wednersday, yer could scratch yerself right now, as it would save a lot er scratchin’ after the race. If all the workers of Pa?roa had a vote on this . blinkin’ question, Mr Wednesday, you would 'avo as much chance of chainging the present ’arf day. as yer would of goin’ to ’Evan. Anyhow 1 , wot’s long, Me Wednersday, kan’t yer make a do of yer blinkin’ biziness with Saterday ’arf ’oliday ? If yer kan’t, well, get out now. Don’t come at the “study the farmer” stunt. It’s called in. All the farmers I no say they don’t give a (I kan’t spell the werd) wot day we ’ave, so ther yer are again. Mr Wednersday. One bloke T met twoclay sez if Mr Wednersday catches Saterday asleep he may roll ’ome and pay a price. I sed, “Not on yore lifo. kid, it will be the workers who ’ave to pay the blinkin’ price.” The bloomin’ factorys have no choice in the matter. Mr Massey says you are to ’ave the best arf day in the blinkin’ week, and that’s Saterday, and that’s strait, so there yer are, Mr Wednersday; were are yer ? Well, Mr Editor, there’s Liza singing out that if Wednersday wins we will go back to the big smoke (Hawkland), where a few bob is not ’ere or there wif the biziness men. I wonder wot makes Liza fink it is a case of £s.d. Anyhow, Mr Editer, perhaps these bisiness blokes arc only kiddin’ to •m? and Liza. It all seems so silly, don’t it to try and change from Satersday to Wednersday., . Wot yer fink, Mr Editer? Will rite agen wen I get the directory for the rite way two spell the werds. Good by,—Yours as 84. BILL SATERDAY.
