IC Hardie, who asked a long series of questions with reference to the case of Edward Pluck, who collitnittecl suicide after having been discharged from the victualling yard at Deptford.—Mr. Robertson read a lengthy statement made by Mr. G. A. Harvey, foreman to Messrs. Holloway. Government contractors, in which he said that he could find no rule in the contract that I no man ever sixty-five years of age was to be employed, though he had been under the belief that guch was the case. Pluck was very infirm, and it was net safe to send him up a ladder. Harvey did not remember having. said—but he would not say he had not said —that " his governor meant to discharge all the men who signed a petition." The pledge given by the Admiralty that no workmen should suffer by reason of inaikin,g a legitimate complaint referred (said Mr. Robatson) to the Admiralty's own workmen, and had been adhered to but the Admiraltyhad nothing to do with the contra ctor'4 workmen. The rate of payment to mechanics in the contract was from 91d. to Bcl. per hour, with an additional for superior workmen. The rate for latothers varied from 6id. to sid. per hour, both rates being subject to a reduction of 311. per cent. The amount paid by the contractor to his men varied from £2 to .-C1 per week for 53 hours, and the men were directly engaged and discharged by him. The question of what improvements could be made in the arrangements at Deptford " and other establishments was now being considered by committee.—Mr. Hardie asked whether the admiralty did not think the dismissal of the men by the contractor was ground for the dismissal of the contractor. r. Robertson replied that the quevtion whether a contr.; ctor should continue to be employed in this connection Nvas a matter for consideration.  PU 31,1 C
