A SLACK PERIOD.
WORKERS TAKE TIME OFF.
[THE PBESS Special Ssrrlce.]
DUNEDIN, November 6.
A /.commendable example of unselfishness' and consideration for their married fellow employees is at present being shown by the single tramwaymen in Dunedin. It seems, that business is rather slack; at present, and it has been found.necessary to .put some men off for a time.. Hesitating to ask the older employees to stand aside, the department had arranged for the newest hands to do so. However, the men themselves have hit upon a plan which will at,least allow married men to stay on irrespective of whether their service has been lengthy or not. To put the matter in a nutshell, a number of the single workers have been volunteering to go off through the medium of applications for leave, thus allowing the married: men to,- be absorbed. They will, of course, be re-engaged.
