Hemes), answering a question on this point, stated that the Bailway. Department would not be able to consider the removal of additional charges imposed during the war until the extent of the increases to be made in wages had teen ascertained. All branches of railway workers were asking for improved pay and conditions, and the total amount of the concessions asked for wag very large indeed.
