No definite time lias so far been fixed lor a conference between the Minister of Railways and representatives of the railwaymen’s organisations regarding the scheme for rationing work to keep the men in employment. The Minister is waiting word from the railwaymen and probably will meet them tomorrow. “CLASS TAXATION” MEN OBJECT TO RATIONED WORK REDUCE HIGH SALARIES Press Association DUNEDIN, Tuesday. A mass meeting of the Hillside Railway workshops passed a resolution disapproving of the Minister of Railways suggestion of rationed work, as being one of class taxation, and urging him to cancel all dismissals until the railway commission’s report is available. The meeting expressed the opinion that the pruning knife should have been first applied to the high paid officials responsible for the present conditions, and directed attention to many useless positions created under the re-organi-sation scheme, urging also the suspension of the Railways Magazine, costing nearly £B,OOO per annum.
