Then principal objection is that Judge Stringer's report, proposed 40 per cent, increase for the lowest paid men. diminishing upwards, but they claim Mr Massey’s own figures show that 0 2 per cent, is the increase in the cost of living. They contend that as the bonus is to be decreased as the cost of living falls they should start from a fair basis.
