It stated that tho Wellington tramway men are well paid at preeent —better, it is understood, than anywhere else in Australasia—yet the demands served bin l the council are said to include advances tin wages, and some costly changes in the conditions of employment. The position will ho Oiscussed at to-night’s mooting of the City Council.
