LOWER-PAID WORKERS
RAISING OF WAGES URGED (P.A.) Christchurch, Nov. 19. Representations are to be made to the Government by the Canterbury Trades Council with a view to the raising of the wages of al) lower-paid workers, whether in State or private employment, and also annual paid holidays for all workers. The president of the council, Mr. John Roberts, said It was realised that raising the wages of lower-paid workers might mean a new level for stabilisation. The Trades Council did not. think that would be a serious matter, provided all inequalities and anomalies were removed. The council supported the principle of stabilisation but considered it had stabilised some inequalities and injustices, particularly as far as lower-paid men were concerned.
