THE RAILWAYMEN.
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright)
MR THOMAS’S VIEWS. LONDON, June 6. Mr Thomas, addressing a meeting of railwayman at Battersea, said no government, not even , a Labour government, would tolerate the murder of innocent policemen and soldiers. He was sympathetic with Ireland, but could not condone murders.- A special Labour conference has been summoned, at which.' Irish railwavmen would be invited to state .their case.
Mr Thomas declared the wages award (cabled) would disappoint many, but everything obtainable had been obtained. He believed the railwaymen’s claim for 20s increase had been a profound mistake.
