Either Wages or Men Must be Cut Down
GISBORNE CHAMBER AND CIVIL SERVANTS Per Press Association. GISBORNE, Last Night. Containing a protest against any further wage cuts and seeking the chamber’s aid in opposing such cuts, a letter from the Gisborne section of the 1 Public Service Association was received at to-day’s meeting of the Gisborne Chamber of Commerce. Tho letter contended that the cuts would have a widespread and disastrous effect on business generally, and any further reduction to civil servants would mean that any sum up to £2,000,000 would be withdrawn from circulation. The letter urged that a protest to the Government-was essential in the interests of all engaged in business.
Members of tho chamber expressed sympathy with tho public servants, but decided that tho matter was outside tho province of the chamber. Some speakers expressed the opinion that either wages or men had to be cut down.
