J. A. MILLAR'S IMPUDENCE.

TO THE EDITOE. ' / Sir,— The working man has not, as •a. rule, a good memory ; hut it is •to be hoped he will remember at the next election the insult which the OLabor Party received from the gang of infernal imposters who call themselves the Liberal Government— when ifchey studiously ignored . the great British Labor leader, Keir Hardie. IThat Joe Ward ignored him pave surprise to nobody. Had it been some anaemic Lord or Duke he would have crawled on his belly to. him, and wished that he had a dozen bellies, that he might crawl on '■-them all. One would certainly have ■thought that J. A. Millar, the Minister for Labor, would have welcomed the brave Labor Leader. But no, he shunned him as a rogue does an honest man who is poor. I see the aa-me Millar had the cheek to lecture ifche working men, m a speech m 'Auckland. He tells them they .are created for no other purpose than to support the alleged Liberal Party, and be thankful for tbe crumbs that the gang of humbugs he is allied with dole out to them with the permission of the fat men. Moire crumbs than Fatipan will permit they cannot expect. The workers don't want crumbs, they want a substantial slice of • the loaf. They will get it if they persevere m the course which J. A. Millar, backed hy such capitalistic institutions as the Auckland "Star" /and the Dunedin "Star," denlore,. namely, a straw* Independent Labor Party. powerful; enough to kick the Government on- j f^ard— or out.— l am etc., .- OUDEIS.
