WORK AND WAGES
RAILWAY MEN AT LOGGERHEADS
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wanganui, Saturday
Regarding the dispute between the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and the Engine-drivers', Firemen's and Cleaners' Association, Mr. G. Brown, .president of the latter, in speaking to a Christchurch pressman last week, is reported to have ridiculed the challenge of .Mr. W. A. Veitch, president of the A.S.R-S., to debate the points at issue, saying they had been debated all over the Dominion, and claiming a victory for his association. Mr. Veitch retorts that the challenge is still open; that Mr. Brown is quite premature in claiming a victory; and adding that it has been proved conclusively that sectionalism was not only a failure but a curse, and that railway men were worse off where it existed that where the amalgamated union defended their interests, for combination was the first principle of unionism.
