P. AND T. DEMANDS. The Government is having a bad time in connection with two of its most important departments. Immediately following the railway strike, the members of the Post and Telegraph Association have taken action for the redress of their grievances. Their dissatisfaction has been smouldering and gaining strength for some time past, and it has now found vent with a. force that seems likely to convince the Government that the P. and T. officials are in earnest in pressing their claims for a square deal. Apparently, the drastic action taken by the railwaymen has had its effect on the P. and T. staff and impelled them to make a strong rally. In one respect their grievance is on all fours with that of the railwaymen, namely, that the increased cost of living is pressing severely on the married men, it being stated by the chairman at the recent meeting of the Association that some members had to work night and day to make both ends meet, while their wives had to supplement the family purse with earnings from needlework, and it was considered the claim for increased pay to meet the cost of living (which was admitted to be sixty-two per cent.) was just and reasonable. It is claimed that the amount of bonus that is being paid to the lower grade officers is totally inadequate to meet the increased cost of living, and it may fairly be assumed there is no exaggeration in this case. It will be remembered that Sir Joseph Ward stoutly Maintained that. Cabinet, at his instigation, had promised the P. and T l . officials a bonus, and it was generally hoped that the present Government would eventually recognise the claim, but the staff ha,s heard nothing further of the nutter and they complain of the breach of faith. Moreover, they .had been promised a meeting with, Ministers whereat they could ventilate their grievances, but that meeting has been avoided, and they tillege that the present Postmaster-General has ignored their correspondence relative to this Dromised interview,
