CIVIL SERVICE PAY.
THE PLANS FOR REDUCTION DECREASES WILL BE MADE. (By Wire—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. The legislation dealing with retrenchment, as Mr. Massey has said already, will not reach the House until the new tariff has been placed on the Statute Book. This legislation has now been drafted, but Mr. Massey is not ready yet to state exactly the intentions of the Government with regard to reductions of civil service salaries. The percentage of reduction and the method of applying it have been giving Ministers a good deal of anxious thought, but the reduction is certainly going to take place. Ministers, as well as members, have been hearing the breath of resistance to reductions on the part of railwaymen, and possibly the P. and T. employees. These threats will not cause any change of plan. Cabinet is fully convinced that a part of the big increase made in civil service salaries during recent years has got to come off again, and it is looking confidently for the support of Parliament in the matter. 1
