POSITION AT RAILWAY CAMPS
Dissatisfaction is said to exist in the ranks of the New Zealand Workers' Union on account of the attitude the Government is adopting in regard to men employed on the new railway works. The secretary of the union (Mr. A. Cook) stated to-day that during the last session of Parliament the Minister of Public Works (the Hon. E. A. Ransom) stated that men employed in tho railway construction camps would not be regarded as relief workers, but would enjoy tho full privileges of members of the union. This promise had not been kept up to the present, said Mr. Cook, and it was proposed to raise the question, as well as others, with the Minister at an interview to-morrow morning.
