A BOMB-SHELL.
BIG SECESSION FROM A.S.R.S. Something very like a bombshell is due to burst under the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants in the course. of n day or two, for it is rumoured that the maintenance men—gangers, surfacemen, and general labourers—proposo to secede from tho society, and to form .1 separate smaller union W look after their own affairs. Such, it is understood, was tho decision arrived at by a meeting of surfacomeu held on Saturday night. There arc about 2000 men in this division of the .service, and tho loss of such a large body will bo a serious matter for tho A.b.R.S., weakened as it already is by the secession of tho locomotive men some- years ago.
