·GRIEVANCES.

H.E. the Governor's refusal to grant their request for treatment equal to that meted out to the Senior Staff, was received with much dis satisfaction by the subordinate staf learn that one of the Senior Clerks of the local Civil Service, and we

of the Service has sent circulars to | his colleagues asking for united ac- tion in the matter. It is understood that a meeting will be held soon to discuss the altuation and if all are in favour of the resolutions which will be proposed, subscriptions will be collected for the purpose of enlisting legal help in the matter. The name of th* Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, OLB. E. is mentioned as the most likely counsel to be approached in the matter. He will be asked to advise any committee appointed by the subordinate members of the Civil Service..

Most of the members of the sub ordinate staff interviewed by our re- porter are delighted with the selection made by the chief movers in the' scheme so it will be up to Mr. Alabaster to do his utmost after he has been approached in the matter' to justify their faith in him.

While on the subject of the Civil Service, it is interesting to note that there is a rumour that the Home- recruited staff are planning the formation of a Civil Service Associa tion to further the interests of the members of that service. Rules and byelaws have been drawn up, and these have been forwarded to H E. the Governor for an expression of his opinion..

The rules provide that the Police and the Prison:Wardern shall not be eligible for membership.

The latter are very much against the decision to exclude them and they claim, that they are as much "civil" as any other branch of the Government Service. They argue that if they are considered semi- military then all the members of the other branches who are members of the Hongkong Defence Corps are in the same position as they; the fact that one is a member of the Defence Corps would make him as much semi- military as the Pulice and the Warders:

Perhaps those responsible will res consider their decision after this convincing bit of, argument.
