THE FACTORY HAND.
To the Editor. Sir,—l agree with. Mr. Wal-tol-tol that the Editor's patience is about taxed to the limit over this controversy. Still I ask for more, for I believe ho. is an indulgent individual. In your paper of Saturday, "Your Own" says ho would like to briefly reply to my last letter, yet I have asked two plain questions and he has evaded both, Introducing other aiatter. "Your Own" is right when he says that the pick and shovel unnn may have days on which he is unable to work and earn 15s. I would like to make this clear that the pick and shovel man gets 15s for working, and tho factory man Ills for working. Why this distinction? Will "Your Own" explain? And to trot out the old grievances, factory men got no extra pay for Sundays and statutory holidays, nor have they received any rise of wages due to cost of living or scarcity of labor.—l am, etc., "WHEY."
