To the Editor. . ■ Sir,—Reading your issue this morning, I was astonished to notice a- r,eport from the Crown Lands Ranger to tlje effect that work was begging in the country at 9s per day, and that nrai could not- he got for that purpose. I iinmediSteiy, with eight others who have been out of employment for Some time, called at the Government Labor Bureau, and was disapppintcd to find nothing was known of it there, We then proceeded to the NeUvs office to elicit some information there, only to be told to interview JlrrSimpson, who politely told us the matter referred to was the Mongonui road, some two months or more ago. Now, Sir, as one of the many working-men who are only too eager to obtain employment, and on behalf ef my fellow-workers, 1 .desire to p'rotest against (statements of this' nature being made as a general slur'on the working-men from the towns, who, I am prepared io say, are only too willing to get employment, no matter where it is.—l am, etc., B. MILLS, ' , Gijbert-street.
