ELECTION STAFFS.
Considjrin» the number of men oat of employment who are only able to undertak® clerical -work, it hardly appears fit and proper that numbers of civil servants are being released from Government positions for election dav so they can fill the better-paid positions at the polk. Of course, one realises the necessity for capable persons to fill the positions of D.R.O.'s. yet there are numbers of men with years of experience in election work being either turned down or else employed in minor capacities, with, of course, the smaller remuneration, whilst the fact that a man is a civil servant entitles him to get the best-paid position, and at the same time to draw his regular salary for the day. I thought "one man, one job" was a Government slogan, but ,it appears that in this case it is forgotten, and a man without a push behind him. though thoroughly capable and experienced, still has Ito remain AN" UNEMPLOYED CLERK.
