THE AUCKLAND RAILWAY EMPLOYES.
To the Editor. •Sir,- In your issue of Thursday I see an accouut of a narrow escape from (ire at the engine-sheds of the railway station. The fire, it is stated, is attributed to overwork of the engine drivers, who are now compelled to clean the engine down, thus necessitating their commencing work between three and four in the morning and working until seven at night. The origin of the lire must have been purely accidental; had it been provi dential. those compelling the engine-drivers to work fifteen hours and a decimal would most assure 11 y have received the scorching, and whether it could have been extinguished must remain a question. lu the c use of humanity.—l am, &c., Fire. Dunedin, December 4
