COST-OF-LIVING BONUS.
ESTIMATE OF COST. ABOUT £2,000,000 A YEAR. [BY TELEGBAFH.— PBESS ASSOCIATION-] WELLINGTON. Saturday. In reply to the Labour Party's denial of his figures, Mr. W. Pryor,- secretary to the New Zealand Employers' Federation, says his estimate was based on increases for the whole year, and not on the 9s bonus recently allowed. This, he considers, means' about £2,000,000' a year, because all workers are affected.* The bonus, he says, does not cease with unionists, as outside workers will demand and get the same increases.
