POST OFFICE GO-SLOW
Toll Calls To Be Hit (N.Z. Press Association; AUCKLAND, Aug. 31. Toll calls and telegrams will probably be the first services hit by the Post Office go-slow, to start on Monday. A half-speed plan was agreed on by an action committee representing all branches of the Post Office Association in Auckland today. The chairman of the Auckland section (Mr D. W. Daniel) said tonight that telephone operators who now took short cuts when taking toll csills would stop doing so. “Counter work will not be so noticeable for a start,” he said. “Sometimes the Post Office is a bit slow in normal transactions anyway. I think the first things the public will notice will be the toll calls and telegrams.” When the association’s national president (Mr J. G. Stapleton) addresses Public Service garage drivers, postmen and postal assistants on Monday, Mr Daniel expects the drivers to vote for their own go-slow in sympathy with the association.
