POINTS FROM LETTERS

SEATS FOR SHOP ASSISTANTS.

I am under the impression that there is a law on the Statute Book that compels shop-keepers to provide seats for their shop-assistants. A recent Christmas tour round the big London shops proved to me that in not one single instance is the lam complied with. Only a few days ago a minor tour, after the Christmas rush was well over, showed that the law was still being disobeyed. May I ask why this law is not strictly enforced ?—H. DALE, London, S.W.
