The wages paid to carpenters, according to figures quoted by Mr H. E Combs last night, are equivalent to: First Class £3BO, second class £343 and third class £315 per annum. A first class telegraphist who was worth as much as any man outside the service, in the opinion of the speaker, could reecive a mamixum pay of £295 only, or £2O less than the lowest grade carpenter.
