Follo~ wing is-the-text-, of-a -telegram despatclied this
morning to Mr. H. J. Soutar, Secretary of the A. C. T. U.
" At the conclusion of the discussion on 1 December
with the joint deputation of the Australian Council
of Trade Unions, the Council of Commonwealth
Public Service Organisations and the Australian
Council of Salaried and Professional Associations,
I said that I would present the claim which you had
submitted for four weeks' annual leave in the
Commonwealth Public Service to the Cabinet as
quickly as possible. My colleagues and I have
now discussed the claim. The Government has
concluded that having regard to existing relevant
circumstances it would be inappropriate to grant
an extra week's annual leave to the Commonwealth
Public Service at this time. I have sent a copy of
this telegram to the President of the Council of
Commonwealth Public Service Organisations and the
President of the Australian Council of Salaried and
Professional Associations. J. G. GORTON
PRIME MINISTER." i
