SALARY INCREASES
EXTRA £250 FOR SUPREME COURT JUDGES UNIONISTS’ RESENTMENT [SPECIAL TO STAR.] WELLINGTON, Sept. 18. Recent salary increases for Supreme Court Judges, taking them from £2OOO to £2,250 a year, have caused some resentment among unionists in Wellington and are expected to be the subject of public comment and possibly action. “Elastic stabilisation” was a principle affirmed at the annual conference of the Federation of Labour, but unionists say that handing out another £250 a year to the Judges is stretching things too- far. Other national union leaders are including the increased allowance to the Governor-General in their questions about stabilisation. They claim that stabilisation is breaking down, and that it cannot hold the support ol the workers as Government policy if some sections of the community, and not all, are allowed substantial salary increases.
