HANDED BACK RISE
POWER BOARD EMPLOYEES Steps taken by the Taranaki Electric Power Board to pay the 5 per cent. wage increase to two members of its staff not covered by any award and receiving over £400 a year, had to be retracted when the Electricity Controller advised the month ly meeting at Eltham that he could not sanction the increases. The question of granting increases on salaries of £400 yearly or over was still under consideration'by the Government, he stated. When the Arbitration Court granted the increase to workers under awards the board took the view that it was only fair to grant the increase to employees not under awards. Two staff members had been paid the extra amount and had refunded it, it was stated. The chairman, Mr. N. H. Moss, remarked that the Government had decided to pay 5s a week extra to all civil servants on salaries up to £335 a year.
