RAILWAY, SERVANTS' PAY
Sir-Will you kindly allow mo these few lines in your valuable paper re the railwav employees? Why is it, »Sir, that valunlj'lo men with long service are leaving the Railway Departments' I know of ono station alone where five men liavo left within a fortnight, all with Ion" sen-ice. Now, I say that as Mr. Mas=ey is Minister of Railways, lie ought to get to tho very bottom of the trouble, because the Department cannot nfl'onl lo loso trained men nowadays. Tho labourer outside is getting moro per day limn we are, after about 15 years service, and we have not got tho eanio cbances as other people outside of tho Department because we are at tho beck and call of the Department at any minulo tbev should want us. It would do Mr. M'Villy good if bo got out amongst his istalT and saw for himself the dissatisfaction there is amongst tho men as a whole—l am, etc., 0N,13 WHO LEFT THE JOB AFTER ini'TEiMN YEARS' SERVICE. [Wages and conditions in tho Railways Department are now being investigated by a specially-appointed board—Editor Dominion.]
