"POSITIVELY INHUMAN"
RAILWAY METHODS WITH INVALIDS. Many people who have to travel do so under a doctor's certificate, and to Buch jicople, sometimes on tlio vorge of a nervous breakdown, the necessity ol' having to wait a long time in a queuo outsida the Raitway Uureau and tkejt undergo a cross-examination is very trying. This is a poinc that tho Railv.ay authorities have evidently overlooked. A complaiut vas made yesterday to a member of the staff of The Dominion by one who has teen ordered into the country to gain strength so that he may undergo an operation.
"I waited for an hour and a quarter iu the* queue," the sufferer said, "and by the time I had finished answering questions in order to get a permit to travel, I was almost done. Tho system is positively inhuman, and I am sure the controlling authorities do not knoiv what is happening, or such oasos as mine would be impossible!"
