COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS AND THE RAILWAY DEPARTMENT

Sir,—l want, if it is possible, to rouse the commercial travellers of Now Zealand to the injustice meted out to them In- the Railway Department, there are several points of unfairness, but just now I'll deal with one, that of the theatricals. They jet first-class cars for second-class tickets, and the C.T.'s do not, and there are more of them using the railway than theatre artists. True, wo don't travel in a bunch, but then neither do wo congest the traffic. Last night I came clown by tho express from Auckland, and it was one of the worst trips on record. All (ho first-class cars were unheaied, and the explanation was that tho special cars on in front for tho theatricals prevented the heat reaching the first-class cars. Why should they have the prefcronjo over ordinary first-class passengers, especially C.T.'s, who are always travelling on the business of the country? Are we, the commercial travellers, getting a fair deal? Pressure should be brought to bear upon the Railway Department to give due recognition to'tho full value to our country- of the commercial travellers.—l am, etc., ONE OF THEM.
