WHERE UNITY IS STRENGTH.
To the Editor. J Sir,—ln your Thursday's issue a cor-j respondent signing himself "Worker" makes a mild complaint at not getting a rise of, "screw." How can he dare to suggest that the "more unfortunate" should have a "rise" after his case had been before that immaculate body, the Taranaki Employers' Association? I may tell him ,that there is very little danger of getting a rise on an ordinary* application, and the only way to keep M»' end up is to combine with hie fellow- - '' men. The employers combine to look'after their interests. Slave, go thou and do likewise. I may add that I havfj tried applying to the bosses for a rise, and was told that the wages I got were good enough,, was denied six months work they had agreed to give me, was fired out, and a new man put in with a"} rise that I applied for. How many of" the Borough Council members or members of the Taranaki Employers' Association would be contented with the wages they deal out to ordinary slaves? I am, etc.,' "UNITY." Inglewood, February 18, 1912.
