§ Major NEWMANasked the Postmaster-General whether the committee which finds work for those who object to military service is obtaining berths for such men in the Post Office; whether they fill the places of men who have gone on active service; whether all vacant jobs at the Post Office should be reserved for old soldiers or men wounded and partially disabled; and will he say whether the salary of these objectors when so employed is in excess of the pay and allowances of a soldier and are granted a war bonus?
Mr. PEASESituations are not being found in the Post Office for conscientious objectors, but in a few cases Post Office servants who have obtained exemption on conscientious grounds have been allowed to remain in the Post Office when the tribunal have decided accordingly. Every effort is being made to arrange for the employment in the Post Office for discharged and disabled soldiers.
