Boycotting a Railway Cabstand.
Christchurch, April 28. The Christchurch cabmen have today combined to boycott cabstands at the railway station, and have expressed a determination to remain away till Constable Kelly, in charge of the station, is removed. Pickets are keeping guard to prevent advantage being taken of the ranks by any other cabmen, and letters have been sent to the Railway Commissioners and City Council on the subject. The cause of the complaint against the constable is the trivial charges brought against some cabmen; partiality shown to some, and undue severity towards others against whom he is alleged to hold .spite. The traffic manager applied to the Tramway Company, but the company is unable to comply, as the plant is all engaged, and the manager does not wish to run in opposition to the cabmen.
