PUBLIC SERVICE
P. AND T. SALARY DEMANDS
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
WELLINGTON, May 9.
Representations were made to the Government to-day, in support of increased salaries for Post and Telegraph officers in the clerical division. They asked that the maximum should be raised from £295 to £340 per annum, and in the general division an increase was sought from £240 to £290.
Replying to the deputation, Mr Forbes said that he would place the requests before Sir J. Ward, at Rotorua, next week.
Referring to the financial position, Mr Forbes said the country had a difficult time ahead. He mentioned that some outside business organisations were maintaining their staffs at the present time but not without sacrifice, and that there were many people who would like to get into the Public Service. One of the difficulties was maintaining the Public Service in the face of very hard times.
