THINGS IN GENERAL.

Sir, —I must congratulate you on The Worker as an up-to-date Labour paper with straight out articles setting forth in clear unmistakeable terms the present wage slave system and the way out to perfect liberty. The only way is by a consolidated movement on the part of the workers at the forthcomng general election —to vote for no one who is not a direct representative of either the Labour or Socialist Party. This can only be brought about by every elector in the Dominion having a regular weekly copy of The Maokiland Worker. If you opened -a subscription list for some of your readers and sympathisers in the colony for a fund to supply every worker (who is not already a subscriber) with a free sample copy of your admirable paper, and a gentle hint to be a regular customer I feel sure you would collect quite a large sum of pennies, threepenny pieces and even shillings for this purpose. By this means I am sure that by November next you would have educated a large number of the Workers.

Is it at all possible before Socialism arrives to obtain such every day necessaries as meats, hread, fruit, vegetables, groceries, etc., any cheaper than the present high rates ? This is what every working man's wife wants to know. Out of the thousands of rebels who have refused to enlist as soldiers of the King, do the great Liberal Party intend fining them after the general election or before ? Would you advise these rebels to fill our gaols and flout the law ? When the rebels come out can they be re-arrested ? Can boys at school escape military drill on a parent's "conscience clause"? Kindly reply in your next issue. —I am, etc., RADICAL.
