Sullivan) in the House of Representatives to-day. , , , “The department has arranged to pay all employees going on leave, such as workshops employees, etc., before Christmas.” the Minister replied, but for employees in the traffic, locomotive, and permanent way branches who will be working on the days between Christmas and the New Year it will not be practicable to make payment before due date.
