THE STRESS OF WINTER.
The result of inquiries points to the fact that the stress of winter is not likely to fall as hard on the labouring classes of the Dominion this year as last The number of important works in hand in the way of railway construction, the erection of buildings, municipal undertakings, and so forth, is such as to absorb practically all surplus, labour, and there is really nothing existing in the way of stagnation or dearth of labour and the hardships which are attendant on such a state of affairs. There are, of course, those who will not go into the country, but prefer to remain about the towns, but there is work in both places. A few unskilled labourers have of late been sent to engagements in the country by the Labour Department, and in fact there is almost at all times employment for a few, at any rate, on cn i or other of the railways under construction ur on private contracts in the country.
