POST OFFICE SALARIES.
INCREASES OPERATE PROM TO-DAY. (PMBS ASSOCUTtOX TXLIOBJUI.) WELLINGTON, March 31. The increase in- wages to the lower paid officers in the Post and Telegraph service decided upon recently by the Postmaster-General (the Rt. Hon Sir Joseph Ward) will come into operation as *om to-morrow. The scale for the general division has been revised, and the Increases are designed to provide a more reasonable payment to male officers after completing their apprenticeship period of five years. It was stated by Sir Joseph Ward recently that a workman usually reached the maximum of his grade (£240) when he was 36 years of age, but under the new scale he should reach that wage at approximately 23 years of age. The amended salary schedules will be gazetted this week.
