TRAMWAY MEN'S PAY.
WAR-TIME INCREASES.
•In connection with the Wellington Tramway Union's request for an increase in pay (though the existing award does not run out until October' of next year), the Mayor (Mr. J. L\ Luke) informed a'Dominion reporter yesterday that, /taking the. war period (from 1914 to 1918), the average increases in salaries made to members or the tramway's staff of the Wellington City Corporation amounted, to 15.53 per cent., and the average increases made to all employees of the corporation worked out to 14.35 per cent. But when it camo to dissecting what increases had been vnado in the wages of different branches of the service, it was found that the increases given to motormen and • conductors during the period mentioned worked out iit.2o.vu per. cent., so tßat they had received greater consideration at the hands or the Wellington public (the council were simply tho trustees of the public), than any other section of men in the employ, of the corporation.
