P. AND T. WAR BONUS
GOVERNMENT ACTION CRITICISED. (Uy Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Monday. The Dunedin branch of tlie New Zealand Post and Telegraph Officers Association resolved "that this section enters an emphatic protest against the Government action in not at once paying the war bonus undoubtedly promised by Sir Joseph Ward, and to referring the 'matter to outside adjudication, seeing that it is admitted by prominent members of the Cabinet that the promise was given. In regard to the minute of the Cabinet, which, being used as an attempt to avoid payment and which states that the bonus will not be paid if officers receive increases, we desire to point out that had reclassification not taken place, the majority of the officers would have received increments of salary and also that a large majority of the officers did not receive such increments as should bring their salary to the maximum to which the last bonus was paid—namely, £330.
