PRIVATE TURNCOCKERY.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib, —Through your columns "One Unemployed" asks the Water Supply Committee "whether the turncock in their employ is allowed to take private work." The Water Supply. Committee have not aswered that very pertinent question—l presume because they'cannot answer it in the negative. The conduct of the Water Supply Committee in allowing this " private practice." is most reprehensible, and ought to be put,an end. to. Unemployed tradesmen have no more chance of competing against, paid officials than they have against prison labor, or that of the heathen Chinee. I think it the duty of the Water Supply Committee to see that their turncock devotes the whole of his time to the public business, and not allow., him to deprive less lucky " brother workmen" of their bread and cheese. ....". Anothbb Unemployed.
