AUCKLAND, This Day. ' Dissatisfaction with the salaries in th» Post and Telegraph Service were expressed at a meeting of the Auckland section of the Officers' Association. A resolution was carried: "That, as the service never received an increase in salary commensurate with the cost of living and has suffered unjust cuts in the already inadequate remuneration, the executive demands that in fixing salaries for 'the next fivo years officers should be placed on a. footing which will give their salaried the same purchasing power as. obtained in 1914. As an instance, the. seventhclass maximum should now be £332 per annum. The reason advanced in .-justification of the cuts, "that the'eountry Was short of money' no longer exists, as is instanced by the fact that large sums of money have been handed to the publio m the reductions of postage and telegraph rates, and it is contended that officers shonld participate; in the better conditions ruling."
