Correspondence
Editor of the Avis.
Dear
Sir:—
In conference
with representatives
of the
sugar
concerns,
on Nov.
10,
they
informed
the
representatives
of
labor
that they had
heard certain
laborers
say-
ing that they
were
willing
to
accept
30
cts.
a daily
wage,
if
Mr.
.lackson
told
t iem to do
=oo.
If such
rumours
were
to
be taken serinusly
they
expressed
fears
that if a decision
were
reached
some
of
the
laborers
might
be
unwilling
to
go
out to
work.
Upon this suggestion,
the
representa-
tives
of
labor, having
previously
heard
that the employers I ad cabled to Mr. Jack-
son, felt
that
they
wouid prefer
to
deal
with
him.
We there
and
then
declared
that
we would be willing to postpone
the
negotiations
until
Mr. Jackson’s
return.
You were misinformed
as
to
the
em-
ployers’
last
offer.
It
was
not
65,
but
60
ets.
on
condition
that
an
eighteen
months
contract
be
signed’’.
This
offer
was rejected
by
the
representatives
of

EROIXE

as
we could not be persuaded
that
it was
a fair offer.
