CASUAL EMPLOYEES
DISMISSALS FROM F. AND T. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. | Per Press Association. J AUCKLAND, Dec. 4. Notices of dismissal served on casual employees in the P. and T. Department in the city ami in other centres throughout the province resulted in representations being made to the Post-master-General. the Hon. J. B. Donald, recently by several Members of Parliament. Invited to make a statement on the position Mr Donald said to-day: “On account of the bad times there is not work for these men. We are not receiving so many applications for telephone extensions. As we have no work we cannot keep these men. mostly linesmen, engaged. They are only casuals. We have only a certain amount of loan money to spend and if we kept these men on we would have to put off a lot of permanent employees. Tt is not my wish or the wish of the officers at the head of the Department to get rid of any men but we have neither tl\e work nor the money to keep them employed.’’
