THE UNEMPLOYED AND THE HABBOB BOARD.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) ' ] Sis, —la common with many of the unemployed, I thought,that the Foreman of Works. for the Borough CoincU, Mr Thomas Kawdon, was bound to put on any fit applicants for work, especially men with families, on the Works now going on for the Harbour Board. Now I want to know whether he is authorised to say as he did to me, that he will put on who he likes and nobody else. Now my name has been down nearly a month for work for the Borough Council, and I hare not' had any work for the Borough since the Saturday following the Queen's Birthday, when an order came that only ratepayers were to be employed, and I and others were discharged accordingly, although Mr Bawdon kept on a relation of his own that lired in the County, as I can prove. I hare a wife and three small children, and cannot get on for either County or Borough, which is rery hard, and I think Mr Bawdon must hare a spite against me. Hoping, you will giro publicity to this, as I know your columns, are always open to a poor man's grievance—l am, &o. t ; ■ - - Calvin Ltttheb Hiilxak. I would like to know who struck my name off Mr Davies' list for work on the Harbour work, after being pat down by MrDaries. *
