NO STATEMENT YET

MINISTERS VIEW RAILWAY DEVIATION CONCERN AT PALMERSTON Press Association j PALMERSTON N., To-day. Interviewed after a visit to Palmerston North railway deviation to-day, Sir Joseph Ward stated that Cabinet had completed its knowledge of the project, and a meeting of Cabinet w'ould be held, probably to-morrow. He would issue a statement in the course of a few days. The Ministerial party visiting Palm- * erston North declined to receive any deputations. coat or shoes to the mission, on the grounds that it would throw clothier* and shoe salesmen out of work. What a world it would be if we were all as cold-blooded as "Worker.” But his humour is quite unconscious. The whole letter is penned in a palpable fear of being out of work himself. lie not only does not mind other people being out of work, but he positively disapproves any help being offered these unfortunately placed people. If his present feax of being unemployed himself is ever translated into reality, he may feel a little kinder toward men with the courage of the Rev. Jasper Calder. HELP WANTED. i SOMETHING FOR NOTHING ' Sir, — If your correspondent "Worker” is capable of broadening his very narrow view of our worthy city missioner’s latest work in supplying muchneeded remedies to those unable to afford them, also to those in a less fortunate position than the chemist’s assistant, he will realise that Air. Calder supplies those in actual need at any time. He will probably see, too, how little the scheme will affect any of the many chemists’ shops in Auckland, wfith their prohibitive prices to the needy. Meanwhile, I advise him . to leave a real worker, doing good for the community, and worthy of the name “worker,” alone with Iris cause. I have no doubt that if "Worker” is ever placed in a similar predicament of need, and not working, our worthy missioner will not turn him empty away, nor yet protest. A REAL WORKER.
