“EQUAL EIGHTS BETWEEN THE SEXES.”
(to the ediioe.)
Sir, —Your correspondent, W. H. Mathieson, is rather inconsistent, to say the least, in his last correspondence. He advocates “ equal rights between the sexes,” and yet he says that employers of labour would choose women workers in preference to men because they pay them half the wages men get. The member, Mr Kelly, said he believed in equal payment for equal work between men and women. I should like to know if Mr K. required a hand to work in nis shop and had applications from two of the opposite sex, which would he choose? At equal wages, would he not take the stronger?—l am, &c., K. S. P.
