RAILWAY WORKERS RETIRED
UNREST IN THE SERVICE REPORTED.
AUCKLAND, September 3U. Thirteen men. who had been employed at the Otahuhu Railway Workshops for periods of 30 years and over were retired to-day. They came under the Government’s economy scheme, which X 3 authorised by Clause 14 of the No. 1 Finance Act. There is unrest in the. Service, .be* cause of the way in which the Act •has been administered, and one man paid this monring: “It is unjust and unfair to dismiss good workmen for no apparent reason. It is our contention that the pruning-knife should be applied to the top and not at the roots of the Service. What is going to happen I can’t tell; hut y°n can take it from me that there is unrest- in
the Service, and the men are full of apprehension. No one knows who will ho the next.”
