CIVIL SERVANTS' SALARIES.
ATTITUDE OF ASSOCIATION.
EXPLANATION TO MR. COATES. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, this day. The Prime Minister has received a telegram from the president of the Public Service Association concerning the attitude adopted by some Christchurch civil servants in their agitation for higher salaries. He assures the Prime Minister that, however dissatisfied the public servants are with the Government for failing to meet the cost of living and salary claims, there is 'no diminution of the sense of loyalty to whoever may be guiding the Dominion's destiny, and there <is no departure from the policy of remaining entirely aloof from party politics.
Mr. Coates said the message showed that the Association was maintaining its traditional and correct attitude of keeping clear of party, and also what a fine body of civil servants New Zealand had. Every member was free to vote exactly as he thought fit, and he had the same rights in this respect as every other citizen.
