Tho following resolution was passed at a meeting of Iho Auckland branch of the -Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants to-night: "That this meeting expresses its convictions that two members have been most unjustly victimised by being dismissed without sufficient cause, and without any opportunity of defending themselves; further, that they have been made scapegoats to cover up the failure of the Railway- Department to provide adequate custody and supervision of goods traffic while unprotected in the country districts, and while in transit. "This meeting resolves: 'That the Department should l>e called upon to reinstate theso man in tlioir positions, or in the alternative to lay a definite charge against each, and to allow him the opportunity of defence common to all British subjects.'
