Dear Fiddian,
2nd June, 1923.
This is not your job but Bridges is away and
I do not know to whom to write.
The Admiralty have a certain number of Home
Yard workmen serving at Hong Kong Dockyard. The Wage8
of these men are assessed and paid in dollars and, at
the present time, are fixed at 50% above pre-war or
permanent emoluments. This arrangement corresponds,
I believe, with that applicable to certain of the local
Colonial people, and I should be glad to know whether, on
*
a comparison with the rates payable to Colonial Officers,
we should be safe in sanctioning an extension of the
present arrangements until the end of the calendar year.
A. Fiddian, Esq.,
Colonial Office,
Downing Street
S.7.1.
Yours sincerely,
HParker
