Among the claims of the Auckland Union are iucreascd wages, motormen on cans with glass fronts to be paid Is Tjd per hour, and on other cars Is 3d per hour, 10 consecittiveidays' holiday each year on full pay, and payment at the rate of time and a-half for all time worked on the seven public holidays in the year.
