We still hear complaint about the scarcity
of labor, SO much so that steamers find great
difficulty in obtaining crews at extraordinary
wages. A visit to the stationhouse at night
would perhaps open the eyes of the public to
the fact that there are plenty of people out of
work, able to work, but too lazy to work as
long ss they can be taken care OF at the pub
lie expense. While there are some worthy
objects of charity, we are of opinion that the |
system OF giving quarters at the Stationhouse |
TO those who apply is encouraging the worst |
class of laziness and vagabondism. Send |
them down on the levee, where they can be |
employed.
