School For Forgers?
PA WELLINGTON, Feb. 21. A bank tried to avoid overtime payments as a matter of policy, Cecil Keatley Hamilton Donnell, former first teller in the Wellington branch of the Union Bank of Australia, Limited, said in evidence in the Arbitration Court to-day, during the hearing of the claim for a bank officers’ award. “ I know that on many occasions the times that a man recorded in the attendance book were altered to lesser times by the controlling officers 'after the employee had signed the book,” witness said. Mr Justice Tyndall: Just a minute till I get this thing right. According to you, there is a school for forgery conducted in the Union Bank. Do you suggest that responsible officers would alter things? Witness: Yes. His Honor: No wonder we have a lot of forgers around the country if that is correct —and I find it hard to believe. However, you are on oath.
