CLERICS' UNION.
A few nights a letter appeared in this column written by a civil servant bemoaninff the fact that at 25 years of age in that service he was entitled to onlv £3 15/ whereas at that outside that service clerks are to receive £.5 10/ per week. Bid he stop to th.nk that at £3 15/ he has a good chance, comparatively speaking, of keeping hk job* Since this last award has come into force five senior clerks have been dismissed from one store alone in this city, and the notice, -hen verbally, of course, has been to the effecAhat owing to the new award their service* cannot be retained. How does that impress onr civil servant? These clerks concerned have in two cases sixteen years with the one firm to their credit: the other three have about at least ten years service. These people also, throuzh no fault of their own. have lost their position? and since they are all seniors, what are their prospects? Vow will civil servant appreciate few prospects compared with those I have written about? WOXDEKDTG
