§ Mr. GILLETTasked the Postmaster-General whether in view of the fact that, with the exception of the auxiliary or part-time sorting force employed within his department, all other grades and ranks of postal servants receive a night allowance of 8½ minutes between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., he will now consider the advisability of granting the same privileges to those at present exempted?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe present rates of pay for auxiliary sorters were settled in agreement with the association representing the class, and when these rates were fixed, consideration was given to the fact that they would cover night as well as day duty. The association, however, have recently submitted representations on this and other points, and their claims are receiving consideration.
