PUBLIC SERYICE SALARIES
By Telegraph-
WELLINGTON, March 13. Although many thousands of public servants have been looking for an increase in pay with the Goveriiment's decision 011 the report of the eonsultative committee, it is now iearned that 110 general increase in salaries is lilcely. Adjuslments will be allowed in certain sections of the ser-ice, but it is reported that the Government and the Economie Stabilisation Commission, in view of the stabilisation system, do not favour a general increase. . The Wellington section of the Public | Service Association was told this week ! that the Minisler of Finance had given | an assurance that the Government 's J decision on the consultativc commit1 tee's report would be released before he left for overseas at tiie end of this nionth. It was reported also that represenlatives of the association during last week had been negotiating with the Economie Stabilisation Commission and the Government, both of which opposed a general increase in the salaries of State employees. Some concession to public servants, however. is regarded as certain, as there is a'iM'idesprcad deman'd Within Ihe service for action on the committee 's report. ■ 1 11 1 1
