Hong Kong's Chinese women civil servants have petitioned the Government again for equal salaries--the same as that paid to man doing the same type of work.

The petition, signed by 63 re prezentatives, was sent to Gov- ernment during the Chinese New Year holidays.

The document requested Gov. ernment to consider the points in the

women's petition and if possible to forward the petition to the Colonial Omce.

The women submitted a simi- lar petition last year. Government replied a month ago stating that the Financial Sub-Committéo de- cided it could not consider the petition at the time.
