H. M. Government's Generous Concessions to Chinese Staff In connexion with ''Briton's" letter advocationg.a public subscription by: the British community for the former employees of the British Post Office in recognition of long and - efficient service, we learn that the Imperial Post Office in London some months ago took steps to safeguard the Chinese staff from unemployment.
With the exception of two clerks who are still winding up the affairs of the British Post Office, its former staff are already; in the employment of the Chinese Postal Administration. As soon as they can be spared the two men still at the old post office will be handed over for duty with the rest. 4 some misapprehension has been caused by this appeal fo the community, if should be stated that many months. ago, the Imperial Post Office, when making arrangements for the definite withdrawal of the Shanghai agency, negotiated with the Chinese Postal Administration for clerks and others to be taken over by the Administration, in whose service they will receive similar positions toi those held in the British Post Office. As well as making this generous provision for their welfare, the Imperial Post Office also sanctioned the grant to the Chinese staff of gratuities or pensions according to length of service.
