TUNNELLERS' PAY.
DEPUTATION TO MINISTERS
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD,
(Bv Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON. Tuesday
A large deputation representing meji engaged on tunnelling operations in various parts of the Dominion waited on the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, and the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. W. B. Taverner, to-day to protest against the reduced rates which the Government has decided to pay to contract workers. It was claimed that the reductions amounted to from 30 to 75 per cent.
Replying, Mr. Forbes agreed to the suggestion by the New Zealand Workers' Union that a conference should be held between representatives of the Public Works Department and the men to consider the reduction which had been made.
