TEMPORARY CLERKS
SALARIES UNDER REVIEW. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. A statement that the salaries of temporary clerks employed in Government departments were now under review was made by the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, in reply to questions by Opposition members during discussion of the estimates for the Public Service Commissioner’s office, in the House of Representatives last night. Several members spoke on the subject, and expressed the view that the Government should be required to pay clerks in its employ the same rate that private employers would have to pay for the same work, but Mr Fraser said that the men had been employed as a counter to unemployment. Some, he said, were doing excellent work, but some would not be able to find private employment if the Government were to close down these activities.
