§ 20. Mr. BARNESasked the Postmaster-General if his attention has been called to the refusal of the Anchor Line Steamship Company to pay 5s. bonus to men handling His Majesty's mails on board ship, a payment which is common on other lines; and if, under the terms of the Fair-Wage Clause, it is within his province to compel payment?
§ Captain NORTONThe Anchor Line Steamship Company is not under contract with the Post Office, but, even if it were, the Fair-Wages Resolution has never been considered applicable to contracts with steamship companies for the conveyance of mails.
