THE RAILWAY SERVICE.
SHEWS ON THE NEW BILL By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, October ?4. Authorised representatives of the Railway Officers' Institute urge that the Railway Bill provisions for first division salaries should he passed. Replying to assertions that certain members of the (}rst division had been provided with large increases,. it was pointed out that there a?e only seven such cases in the whole service, a 4 nd the rates fixed are only reasonable in view of the responsibilities involved. The tank and file of the division are only receiving about £4-5 all round. The Institute points out that the second division has received bonuses during the war while the first has received less in bonuses and in some cases none, and the increase is only about equivalent to the total increases given to the second division men. The Institute has agreed to accept these proposals, but has reserved the right to ask for higher pay if conditions warrant, and will do so if any other branch <-f the railway service receive increases above those now proposed.
