THE RAILWAY SERVICE.
Men’s Grievances. Auckland, Yesterday. “Great unrest prevails in the railway service and the feeling is growing that a full inquiry should be immediately held into the men’s grievances from one end of New Zealand to the other,” said a prominent official to-day, who added that “ resignations are being sent in so fast that it will soon be a case of the N.Z. railways being run by the inexperienced and incapable. Many of the best men are leaving and bye and bye, from the way things are going on now, the service will be left to boys and those who can’t get a job elsewhere.” Questions put in to various men in different branches of the service, elicited the reply that the cause of dissatisfaction, was the long hours the men were required to be on duty and the small rate of pay received, a rate, that in these days of higher cost of living, was nothing like adequate remuneration for the work which they performed.
