NO GOOD TO LABOUR.

The fifty-five breweries in N.Z. last year made the very satisfactory (to the owners) profit of £189,934. To get away with this comfortable profit, the said brewereis gave employment to only seven hundred and thirty-five employees. During the same period eighty-three boot factories (half the total number), giving employment to one thousand one hundred and twenty-eight hands amassed a profit of only 1*30,724,, while 83 clothing factories, which made an aggregate profit of £111,435,' gave employment to three thousand five hundred and seventy four hands.

No wonder the Brisbane Daily Standard (Labour) lifts its powerful voice against the brewery profits in Queensland, as does the Sydney Worker against the same octopus in New South Wales. No wonder America’s Labour leaders were hot in the van for wiping out the business over there. N.Z.’ has its chance. There’s only one ticket for Labour, It’s up to you, N.Z.Advt.
