CIVIL SERVANTS’ WAGES.
COMBINED PROTEST AGAINST CUT. PALMERSTON NORTH, June, 16. A combined meeting of the Public Service Association, P. and T. Association, Railway Officers’ Institute, and the Association of Railway Engineers passed the following resolution: — “That this meeting protests against any further cut in salaries of public servants until there is a corresponding decrease in the cost of living. Already the public servants have suffered a reduction of 6/- per week and more from January 1, while the Arbitration Court has held that a reduction of 5//- per week from May sth is all that is justified. The further cut proposed will have the effect of making large .families live in actual want, as the Government statistician’s latest figures shows that the cost of living is again rising. The members of the various local branches assure their executives of their hearty support in any action which they may take to resist a further cut.’'
