Notices of dismissal served on casual employees in the Post and Telegraph Department in the city and in other centres /throughout the provinco resulted in representations being made to the Postmaster-General (the Hon. .T.

We are not receiving go many applications for telephone extensions; as we have not the work we cannot keep these men, mostly linesmen, engaged. They are only casuals. We have only a certain amount of loan money to spend, and if we kept these men on we would have to put off a lot of permanent employees. It is not my wish or tho wish of tlie officers at the head of, the Department to get rid of any men, but we have neither the work nor the money to keep them employed."
