§ MR. W. REDMONDI beg to ask the Postmaster General what reason, if any, there is that the wages of several junior telegraphists of the Cork Office have not been increased according to the Rules of the Department, and will he cause the arrears due to be paid immediately; is he aware that one female telegraphist made application for a revision of her wages over 12 months ago, and that the matter has not since been arranged, although she is in receipt of a less wage than several female officers who have been appointed since she was, and that she has received no increment whatever to her wages since 1891; and is he aware that a vacancy exists in the first class of telegraphists in the Cork Office since the revision of the 20th July, 1891; and will steps be taken to have the vacancy filled at once?
§ MR. A. MORLEYI am still without full particulars on the matters to which the hon. Member calls my attention; but there has clearly been some misunderstanding, and they shall be seen to at once, any increments of salary which may be found to be due being allowed without further delay. I may say that in the cases referred to in the first paragraph, the necessary authority was sent yesterday.
