BANK CLERKS AND THEIR PROSPECTS.
10 IHE EDITOR. Sir,—Referring to the correspondence re above subject, I think that what is needed is, first, a strong union of all bank clerks, as “union is strength.” It is no use one or two individuals airing their grievances, as it has no more effect than the proverbial “water on a duck’s back.” The authorities could then be approached and forced to raise the salaries of the underpaid officials, and what is as.ranch to the point a scheme of grading should be effected, on the same, lines as that of the Government P.G. Department, besides many other reforms which are very much needed. If then the authorities will do nothing to ameliorate the position, then I would advocate a general strike, which would so paralyse business that the banks would: be glad to make reasonable terms with their employees. Trusting that this matter will not be allowed to rest until justice is done—l am, etc., UNA VOCE.
