SUNDAY LABOUR.
(To Tub Editor W.D, Times,) Sir,—Your remarks re Sunday | carting of wool are very timely, and have the true ring of Liberalism about them. The columns of a newspaper is not the place to discuss thequestion theologically, but the social aspect, as it concerns the welfare of working men, is not to be overlooked. I think we want a little more equality, when some can hardly get a day's work, and others are working seven days a week—of 18 hours each day. If working men valuo their Sabbath aa a day of rest,they will jealously guard it, and only do that which is absolutely necessary to be done. Up-country teamsters should know that travelling wool waggons on the Sunday, are not only an outrage on the religious and moral sentimentsof the community—they are anti-social, and the owners are liable to prosecution for violating parliamentary law. I am, etc,, John Dukes.
