CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor.) Sir. —If I keep on answering your correspondent, “A Worker,” with the bleeding heart for the poor, down-trodden worker, I don’t know where it will lead to. Yes, I am a worker, Imt have not yet joined the I.W.W. As for “so-called society” —looking down on the worker —I smell a rat. This is class conscious clap-trap. It was stale meat on the Wellington wharf long ago. Have ifr shot at something fresh. About the workers having the largest families. Good on them,-but they don’t all come at once, do they? As for the children being disappointed,. who wasn’t,'- Sir? But anyone would ■ think, to hear “A Worker”-wailing, that the children lived in a London slum. Yes, Mr “A Worker,” I remember when I was a child, and believe me, the' children of. Union Street, have nothing to complain of in comparison: I suppose there would be more children go to the pic-nie from Union Street than from Main Street, but don’t forget that Main Street was finding most of the money to pay for the picnic. What children I have going to school doesn’t cut any ice. “A Worker” may have more children than me, and I only hope they don’t inherit their parent’s grouse. Nuff said. —I am, etc.. ANOTHER WORKER.
