THE BAKERS AGAIN.
[To the Editor of the Evening Star/) Sib,—ln looking over your "Corner" allotment last Saturday I perceive yom have not forgotten to give the bakeri another rub down, but methinks that they require a thorough curry combing, their skins are so thick, before they will yield to the pressure of public opinion. Silica they received the rubbing down by your correspondents lately, I perceive that flour has again fallen considerably, so, of course, we may expect another rise in - bread, and I - suppose the publio will tamely submit to be fleeced rather .than: take the matter into their own hands and teach these gentlemen a permanent lesson. ,Truly, Thames people aro a patient people, : and it is not easy to move them out of ■" 1 their ordinary grooves. However, I may inform you and the public generally that the. proposed co-operative association in not shelved, but only in statu quo. A.,, large number of people are ready and ! willing to support such association, and it only requires a little time to perfect the same, and so shut up these thick-skinned merry gentlemen - altogether, if in the meantime they do not come to their senses, and consider poor but honest families in these hard times. To oonolude, I entreat them to ponder over the fate of Pharaoh'e baker (Genesi* 4,0), and mend their ways.' More anon.—l am, &c,
Bor&H'BOY No. 1.
