§ MR. SYNANasked the Postmaster General, Whether it is true that fifteen clerks have left the Glasgow Telegraph Office and entered the service of the Anglo-American and other Companies; and, whether or not in consequence of the low salaries under the present classification?
§ MR. MONSELLsaid, eleven telegraph clerks had left the Glasgow Office in the last six months. Of these, two had taken service in the Anglo-American Telegraph Company; one had joined the Royal Engineers; and he did not know what had become of the others. It was however, to be presumed they had all left in the hope of improving their position.
