WORK AND WAGES.
JUDGES AND BARBERS. WANT MORE PAY. (Special to the Star.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Two interesting' phases of the increased wage at distant points in the scale have arisen here. The Wellington District Law Socjety has passed a resolution endorsing the views expressed by the President of the Auckland Law Society as to the inadequacy of Ihe salaries paid to Judges of the Supreme Court, and is also of the opinion that the salaries paid to Magistrates should be increased. As a consequence of the hairdressers' decision to increase the price of a haircut to ei gliteen pence the Wellington hairdressers' assistants promptly held a meeting to consider this move. They were of the unanimous opinion that too many members of the Union were receiving less than £4 per week. A deputation was appointed to meet the employers in conference next week with a request to levelling up wages.
