A FARCICAL LAW.
The Slaw which regulates the conduct of employer and employed in this labour-ridden' country is ibeooming more farcical every dia.y. The latest absurdity comes from Auckland, where an employee was charged with failing to claim overtime from ibis employer. It appears that the employee, without the knowledge or consant of his master, worked on a certain holiday, so that he might be able to get off for a. few hours on the following day. Naturally, he did not claim overtime, and, had he done so, he 'would probably have been sent
about-ibis business. But the law had to be vindicated, and th© employee was hauled before tttie Court by the offioeais of the Labour Deparftmmt. There is xto wooder rbhat men and
I women iare isonambling out of this I "free" country as fast as the boats will take them.
