“STOMACH REMOVAL”
Sir, — It is accepted tiiat a workman should be paid a wage which will command a sufficiency of food, clothing, and other necessaries to keep him and his famiiy in health, and to enable them to enjoy the comforts and’ conveniences which custom has recognised as belonging to this life. The only way to achieve this task on 12s a day, as was proposed at last Thursday’s council meeting by his Worship the Mayor of Auckland, is to remove the stomach of those employed for. such wages. It is impossible for workers to maintain themselves and dependants upon this miserable pittance of £3 12s a week.
