Finally under this heading, the existence of a
"Special Class" of Junior Clerical Service has
helped to weaken further the prospects of promotion
to higher grades, especially as members of the
Special Class enjoy, by comparison, the prospects
of quicker promotions. Members of the Special
Class receive a commencing salary of $1200 a year (equivalent to the salary of a Chinese member of
the Junior Clerical Service who has ten years'

Thus this short cut to Class II (
(itself an
unfair spectacle) adds further injury to your
petitioners' interests by creating a class of
rival candidates for posts which are already too

the lengthy period which must elapse before a

classes is becoming an unrealisable dream to an
increasing number of your petitioners.
