§ Mr. THURTLEasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that there are some 30 auxiliary sorters working at Mount Pleasant who work from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily and on Mondays and Saturdays from 7.15 a.m. to 8.45; and if he can make arrangements whereby these men can also be employed on the remaining mornings of the week in order that their earnings may more nearly approximate to a living wage?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI find that most of the auxiliary sorters in question are at present being employed in the morning on four days a week; but in consequence of a pending revision of duties it may not be possible to continue this arrangement for long. Further enquiry will, however, be made into the matter.
