The Congress of the Amalgamated itailway Servants' Society, with two dissentients, recommended State control of the railways. Mr. Richard lie'.l, M.P., general secretary of the society, declared that when nationalisation came, thousands of railway men would suffer, because, much surjdus labor would follow upon the removal of competition. He concluded by championing private investors in railways and making a bold stand against some confiscation ideas current.
