CORRESPONDENCE.

The Eight Hours Demonstration. (To the Editor.) Sin,—l regret to see by your issue of last evening that the Temperance Societies are determined, if possible, to wrest from the working classes the day they have selected for the Eight Hours Demonstration, going so far as to attempt to secure the Domain Cricket Ground for sports. Happily in this they will be frustrated, as the Cricket Ground was secured from Mr Mumford some time ago on behalf the Eight Hours Demon stration. I agree with your correspondent " Observer" that there is apparent apathy among tlie different trades re.the Eight Hours Demonstration ; but the fact that there has been very little move made does not prove a lack of interest in the move ment, as many working men believe that the movement having been in existence some time, has familiarised them with the routine of the work in connection with the Demonstration, and made the necessity for earlier operations needless. Of course, had we anticipated the Temperance Societies would have tried to supplant us in such a disgraceful manner, we would have made an earlier move ; but I am persuaded that themovement.whichissodeartotheworking man, and which materially affects his bread and butter, will not lack support, the Tem perance Demonstration notwithstanding. Immediately after the first meeting of the Temperance delegates, I advised them of the prior claim of tho Eight Hours Demon stration through the medium of your columns, so that they hare had ample time to select some other day; and I may say that tho delegates from the Rcchabites were instructed to strenuously opposo a conflict with tho Eight Hours Demonstration, and try and fix upon some other day; but the Temperance Societies seemed determined, if possible, to alienate the sympathies of the working classes, which is hardly in keeping with their vaunted professions. I may say, sir, the groundmanyTemperance friends, with my self, take, is tnht we have established a claim to Anniversary Day, and the peculiarity of oursituntion demands that ourdemonstra tion should take place on a public holiday, so as to meet the wishes of employers of labour, and on the other hand, tho Temperance movement with all its auxiliaries, and the public sympathy which it has, backed up by nearly all the pulpit influence, are quite able to select any day for their demonstra tion and make it a success, or else the hun dreds of blue ribbons we see about the street ,aro a hollow pretence, which I do not believe. Now, sir, priority of claim and our inability to make our demonstration a success on any but a holiday, should lead our opponents, in Christian charity, to select some other day. Many Temperance work men—in fact, all whom I have met —have expressed their regret at the course pursued by the Temperance people, but have at the same time expressed their determination to stand by the Eight Hours movement at all hazards.—l remain, eto., . Cbas. B. Kino. ■ ♦

{To the Editor.) Sir,—l see an advertisement in the Star calling a meeting of delegates of the Eight Hours Demonstration, and would suggest that previous to such a meeting a public meeting should be called by tho pre sent Chairouw tQ enable those sections of Labour-who have no society to elect dele gates to represent thorn ; this, to my mind, being the only way by which dele gates of those branches of labour who hate no trade society can be fairly elected, and if the Demonstration ;s to he a success, every branch of trade or labour ought to be represented on the Committee. And I would also suggest that at such publio meeting, last years balance sheet be read, and an acoount given Qf how that £60 was voted out of the (surplus monies to buy a Flag, as there are many yarns about that £60 Flag. If the publio meeting is called, by all means let us have that Flag ex hibited on the platform so that- we can judge for ourselves about this Ho-slop-ian affair.—l am, &c, Navvy Tffl.! ♦—^-—

Railway Mismanagement (To the Editor.) Sir, —This is a subject whiolv has of late begun to attract the attention of the public, and on whioh X think a little might be written tp try and remedy tho disgraceful manner in which the whole railway system of Auckland is being carried on. The total disregard for the comfort and convenience of the travelling publio cannot be too severely stigmatised, the trains being invuriably • overcrowded and behind time, especially at stations along the Waikato lino. As an instance of tho overcrowding, I may men tion ono circumstance which occurred on the train leaving Auckland at 8.25 for Waikato on Tuesday last. Although the railway authorities must have known that there would be a demand for extra passen ger accommodation on account of the holi days, show, &c, you will hardly believe, sir, that there were only two first-plass carriages to that train, in one of which I counted 45 passengers, and in tho other I could not get a seat, or oven standing room, the platform outside of Jboth carriages being occupied by passengers who could not get sitting-room inside. What is rthe use of tho authorities posting up notices showing the danger of passengers standing on the platforms of carriages, when they compel them too, by their gross neglect and mis management. I cannot find words strong enough in which to endeavour to show the authorities the great mistake they are making in thp exoi'hitftpt fares which aro charged hoth for passengers and freight. If lower freights and fares were charged I venture to assort that the returns would be largely increased by both, as merchants complain hero bitterly of the heavy rates gf freight charged. Trusting that this matter now before the public will niot be allowed to be shelved, and that you will use your endeavours through your valuable paper to bring about a better state q{ things, I am, &c, Settler. Hamilton, November 14.
