asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the workers at Island Bridge were excluded from the award given to Civil servants previous to the 17th December last by the Conciliation Board; whether they are now included in the extended award of that date; and when they may expect payment according to the terms of the award?

The Civil Service bonus awarded by the Conciliation and Arbitration Board is not applicable to workmen in the employ of the War Department; their rates of wages have been regulated in accordance with the Fair-Wages Resolution. Instructions have recently been issued regarding a further bonus for clerks and writers in the employ of the War-Department at Island Bridge.
