POSITION OF CIVIL SERVANTS PREMIER’S FAR DRAWN DISTINCTIONS. Auckland, March 13. The Premier, interviewed on complaints alleging that distinctions are shown between the public service and private employees in regard to Territorials’ training, declared emphatically that no such distinctions existed. All public servants coming under the provisions of the Act will conform with them. He pointed out, however, that it was quite a different thing in calling out at one time perhaps two or three employees of a commercial house and several thousand men affected in the railway service. Public utility services must not ' be disorganised. The public itself would not stand in conveniences arising from dislocation of department by the clearing out. at one time, of a Large body of servants.
