OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS

THE EMPLOYERS’ ASSOCIATION (To the Editor.) Sir, —I read in Wednesday's “TimesAge” that the Borough Council decided to join the Employers’ Association. Why? The council have in the past always been able to settle amicably any little difference between them and their staff. To many of the workers the name of Employers' Association means bitterness and lack of co-operation and the remarks of Councillor Low show that that gentleman knows very little of industrial matters. It is rumoured that a certain Borough Councillor intends to retire from public life as he flatly declines to be associated in any way with the Employers' Association. It is a pity if he does so, but I don’t blame him. Could not Mr Jordan use his influence and have the Employers’ Association left out altogether? —I am, etc., PRO BONO PUBLICO, Masterton, October 23.
