NAVAL PAY
ADMIRALTY ORDERS TEN PER CENT. CUT BY WIRELESS N.Z. RATINGS NOT AFFECTED AUCKLAND, Friday. A message wirelessed by the Admiralty to the British Fleet throughout the world, states that the cut in the naval rates of pay will be limited to 10 per cent. The message says that Sir Austen Chamberlain announced in the House of Commons that the Government, on examining the scheme of reductions, found classes of persons who were unfairly affected and in view of all the circumstances, concluded that the simplest way of removing just grievances was to limit the reductions as to teachers, police, and defence services to not more than 10 per cent. This decision will not apply to the higher ranks of commissioned officers. Officers and men who would have been transferred on October 1 from the 1919 to the 1925 rates would, from October 1, receive current rates, less 10 per cent, except where this would reduce the pay below the 1925 scale. As far as New Zealand is concerned, this applies only to 200 Imperial ratings on the sloops Veronica and Laburnum.
