THE CIVIL SERVICE.
REDUCING THE WAGES. A BREACH OF~AGREEMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Nov. 19. The secretary of the New Zealand Public Service Association, commenting on the Premier’s statement regarding the proposed reduction of wages of civil servants, says the proposal, if carried into effect, would be a breadh of an agreement and understanding entered into in 1920 With the public service organisations by the Government’s agents, the uniformity committee, when the definite undertaking was that no reduction would take place unless th? percentage increase in the cost of living, then at 62 per cent., fell below 52 per cent., and then only by a proportionate reduction in increases then given to meet the increase in the cost of living. The association asks for the publication of the report of the Economic Commission, and expresses the hope that the Prime Minister does not intend to dishonor the salary agreement with the service organisations.
