"T0 HIM THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN."
■*■ ro niF union. Silt, - As n coiist.mt icadei of your vabifible papei, woiiM you kindly nifoim me, anil a few lnoie, how it h that the lailway authoiities, contiaiy to thoti icgulations, employ the platelaveis uvci time (say some six houis c ich night) to dischaigit the rails and sleepers, now coming forward for the railway eontiacts in this district. Them men me in the legular employ of the railway, and aio supposed to work haul eight houis each day, yet to tho exclusion of ft lot of haid vvoikitig iron, anxious foi work, and whoaie living fr<nu hand to mouth, these platelayers are able to get 14 or lfi houis woiks pay, whilst others look on. The lailway authorities can scarcely know it., and for that reaioii I write thin at the w ish of a good many, »i> that perhaps things may bo t-eon in their true light, and perhaps wo may get a share of the work.— I am, &c.
