MARINE ENGINEERS.
STATE OF THE INDUSTRY. PROPOSALS FOR IMPROVEMENT. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) Sunday. A revision in the status and remuneration of New Zealand marine engineers was urged by Mr. W. J. Galloway, former president of the Wellington branch of the Marine Engineers' Institute, at a gathering of marine engineers. What was needed, said Mr. Galloway, was a Committee from the institute which could revise the tariff. conditions of the country, so that they would build up the work of the New Zealand engineering industry and gratify both the industry -and the engineers in New Zealand and in England, but not in foreign countries. At present the conditions were unfavourable to all except the foreign industries. The need for revision in the salaries paid to inspectors of machinery in New Zealand was also the subject of comment. Mr. Galloway said men of talent and experience iij the engineering profession were to-day receiving lower salaries than men who were engaged as chief- engineers at sea and men who were inspectors of primary produce.
