CORRESPONDENCE.

THE HALF-HOLIDAY QUESTION. (To the Editor.) Sir,. —I'notice with interest the reply of your Stratford correspondent to the letter of the Thursday Half-Holiday Association, an<i would ask you to kindly give me space to make a few comments thereon. In the first place your correspondent side steps the main points at issue, namely, that he gave his own biased opinion under the heading of a report o' what is supposed to have actually transpired at’the meeting, at which the subject of Eltham’s action was not even mentioned. As a business man of Stratford and a member of the association, I should like to state that I for one was approached on the Friday night when the advertisement appeared, by your correspondent, who characterised the action as “a hit below the belt.” He himself, I think, will be the first to admit that I emphatically disagreed witl? him, remarking that the Eltham people were quite within their rights. You will see from this that so far from making a scapegoat of the reporter, these are his own admitted sentiments. Your correspondent makes the statement — again on his own responsibility—that the advertisement apypared there was no talk of opposing the Saturday half-holiday -here. I wisli to state that the matter was well under way long before this; in fact, arrangements were being made to form- the Thursday Half-holiday Association right from the time the Mayor’s casting vote decided for Saturday.—l am, etc., BERT RAWLES, Stratford, March 2.
