OVERTIME WITHOUT PAY
——♦ ABANDONMENT OF OFFER BY PUBLIC SERVICE (tress association telegram.) WELLINGTON, April 24. The proposed scheme by which the personnel of the Public Service should agree to work overtime without pay for a few hours a week as a contribution to the war effort has, it is understood, been abandoned. The proposal, which came from the Public Service Association as a gesture to help the country, was that officers of all grades in the various departments should agree to give up to eight or 10 hours a week of their leisure time to assist in preparing the national register of manpower for the war. An officer of one department said today that the scheme had been killed by the unfavourable attitude of younger men in the service, particularly temporary employees.
