WAGES ON RELIEF WORKS.
HOLIDAYS AT CHRISTMAS.
NO COMPULSORY STOPPAGE. [BI TELEGRAFH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] DUNEDIN, Tuesday. The Minister of Public Works, the Hon. W. B. Taverner, has replied to Mr. M. J. Savage, M. P., regarding Christmas pay for workmen on public works. The Minister said the position was that jobs which close down from December 19 did not necessarily include relief works. As relief workers were not entitled to any statutory holidays or annual leave on pay, he had directed the department that relief works were not to be compulsoriiy closed down for the usual Christ-mas-New Year vacation this year. Any relief workers who desired to remain at work were to be allowed to do so and those who preferred to have the usual vacation were to be automatically granted time off without pay.
