CORRESPONDENCE.

The Unemployed

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—There were one 6v two statement's made at the meeting of the unemployed last week which, if not contradicted, are cal culated to leave a false impression regarding the attitude of the City CcSuneil towards contractors. I heartily sympathise /frith the unemployed in tJieir agitation to obtain employment, but I. am afraid that they are committing an .error of* judgment v in the means they have taken to achieve their object. One speake^ asserts thatthp contractors are only dilly-dallying with their - work) and do not put on' 'Bufflcient labour to flriish their contracts in.the tiiiie speci tied, and that the Council encqtlrage them, in this course by not inflicting the time penalties. .Putting the tima penalties on one side f6r tho iubtnenli, it is obviously the interest of the contractor to complete the work in the shortest possible time by employing all wie labour he canusa /■''■ with advantago ; and it is also obvious that it would not be to his interest to crowd Hjj ■ work with labour which could not'be 'nge'd \ but at a loss to himself. l?of instance, tlire^ men are employed to fill two drajß from the face to the tip, at a certain lead, one" dray being filled when the other return^'*'ao tv - to start immediately with the return load. Now, four men* to the same tejmi wojildV have filled 6ne_ dray before, the return of tHo other, and waiting for it ; "would be idle "for a long or ahort period,.as the case;mlghi ' be, thus entailing a loss to the con tractor which ho is not called upon to. make, even for the unemployed, "TDiS-'"'■'? ho do so, ho would soon swell tneic; ranks in his own proper pefsonV asking, "Do give us employment, kind . gentleman! City. Council contractor once;' ■.'■■ gentleman 1 for I've got ho work to doo-Or ' etc." That the City Council are lax in their supervision of works. is another it?irf promulgated "at the meeting calculated to mislead. The inspectors'over each" work; '■■ have got instructions,, >hiph to 'jijiy' '•; knowledge they faithfully carry" ouv to take tho number of men and horsW employed each day; the numbej7!di'.•' days not at work being' also noted, $mi ; should the work not be completed in cpn-' tract time the penalty is enforced, the only* mitigation being an allowance for delay through stress of weather. If " the I' unemployed will only refer to the"; ■reports of the back meetings, they will see that the time penalty has,been' enforced. As for the demand that con— tracts should be let by piece-work to the :' unemployed, I know from my own know.''■'-. ledge it has been a failure wherever trieiS.1' Witness the relief works in ' Ireland-■ during the famine .years. • I may, say that after forty..years' experience; I have never seen a-more honourable body of men than th"c contractors of Aucb1 land, or so many labouring men whoavd; • anxious to give their em ploy i!s satisfaction r and give a fair day's work for a fair day's,".' -wage.—l am, &c, , ..' > .'''.•:. i"....'. Richard T. Hill, C,8.". ' [Our correspondent's excuses -for undejM manning works are hothjng to the purrjoße^;, A contractor undertakes to perform a work in a given time, and barring unforeseen accl.. dents, he should be compelled to fulfil his bond.— Ed.E.S,] _. ■" . ; J* \ (To the Editor.) Sir,—Mr Ewlngton's letter in your.ißsuo:'. -of Thursday is to the point, and Very-nicely's^ 'placed before the unemployed. No dpiibt.^ it is very annoying to him to find that there.; '. are. a class of men who are ready' to prey upon the substance of , othcrp, For employers to turn round and. judge !jftl};, to be alike is wrong.- A truly sensible : workman will res^-ect capital, and a"trulV»|; sensible employer will respect labour ifJlYj that labour is producing its result in prp- "'■'■ ducing capital; and a^workmairwho thinks. r that an 1 employer fcah empllby"^^^® without realising a; result, must -be bereft of. reasoning faculty. What" the writer wishes to impress upon'this employers of labour is, not to tiko' an advantage of one map; for' exa'jnp!eli!i ; B;~ an employer, C, the, unemployed. Bj, J knowing that C wants eftiployment, thrpuahy C having gone to him and told him that he ' , was hard upand just landedand wanted work, - B gives him employment, at say, 45s peif,''; week. Through sheernecessity C acbep'ts ' the wage under pvessure; Now, the men on "V the works are getting 50s per week./ In;'^"' little timi, say a week or bo, the men, finding;! that C has accepted the 5s below them,- i^'J mediately petty annoyances commence, and.:: Cjis reluctantly compelled to leave his wprk^' and is further compelled to see his wifea.^4 *' family on the brink of ruin. Werelaekedj''■•:'.' are the.men justified.in such a course, I could not answer, one. way or the other, not being able to come to a just conclusion,<?• but will leave that problem for thoeertOj.; ' solve who can see clearer than I can. JJatL; I men, I should never take an advantage of one man's position. But did my coDcora • show an adverse balance, I Bhouldijatif, once, if I thought a reduction of wages■; necessary to ensure my production being.; 1 more profitable, tackle the whole of jnyU men, and reduce, wages to all, and ,np*.;; single out the first hard-up man that asked for employment. And further, I wish totv' draw'your attention to this fact, thatthcjtts are' employers who, haying never studied ;" the law of political pconpmy, |(jpk upon %\ ; giving a man employment asa of alms • bearing. , Any true British > pluck will resent or revolt ■•cat> ,8uC&< ; ;; a notion. When an employer gives employment he does .or should ponsidff that he is placing his money out at jritprpat ta yield or bring forth to; both -the employer. v and employed. With, these few remarkß J.-A beg to subscribe myself ■ , : ; - One or the UitEMPioyKD. To the Editor: Sir,--It js most gratifying . to learn that something is being done for the convenience of habitual bathers. 'It ;: would be of immense servicej however, if: some of our City Councillors who can', obtain bathing accommodation at their r; comfortable arid conveniently - arranged private residences would visit the public ', baths' at 6.30 a.m., say for the next" j: five mornings, and they will at once..;•. see that 18 inches of mud and water, is scarcely adapted to secure the health-giving recreation supposed to result from a daily ; immersion. Now that a bath is about to fe provided for juveniles and Ihofe itnable W ; awim, could not the prpgejit b.ath^vW.sfjj.f.;; small cost, be arranged to contain nivfity less than 8 feet of water, and its receptacle \ made impervious to leakage?—T.ftm, &c,V ■ A Constant Bather.;/' ~'
