"STATE SALARY REQUIRED"
IS IT A FAIR QUESTION? "State salary required."—This instruction, or question, or condition, contained in an advertisement inserted in news-' papers by the Public Service Commissioner, was the subject of a question addressed to the Prime Minister by Mr. G. Witty in tho House yesterday. Mr. Witty asked the Prime Minister .whether he approved of such a practice, declaring that it was the worst form of sweating to ask men t.ho lowest salary they ■wbto prepared to take. Mr. Massey said lie did not quite the object of asking an applicant for a position to stato what salary he required, but he did not think that it was to get a man at the lowest salary he was prepared to take. This was not the policy of the Government. Mr. Witty: I am quite sure of that. Mr. Mnssey: And I don't think it is tbe policy of the Public Service Commissioners. He said that he would make inquiries on the subject.
