§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the claim of the Union of Post Office Workers first to increase wages and then to restore public facilities; and whether his Department accepts this procedure or prefers first to restore the facilities with a view to increasing wages?
§ Mr. HARTSHORNMy attention has been called to the claim. The wages of Post Office servants are determined by considerations other than the facilities afforded to the public.
