NEW SYSTEM OF CONTROL. BILL BEFORE THE ’COMMONS. By Telegraph.—Press Asan.—Copyright. Received May 27, 8.30 p.m. London, May 27. ' In the House of Commons, Sir Eric Geddes (Minister of Transport) moved the second reading of the Railway Bill. He expressed the opinion that the new groupings would within a few years save £25,000.000 annually. Mr. J. R. Clynes (leader of the Parlia-. mentary Labor Party), in moving the rejection of the Bill on the grounds of faWure to provide for nationalisation, which was the Government’s policy before the election, expressed regret’that the men had had to bargain away representation on the directorates in order to retain the wage position. Sii- Erie Geddes, intervening, said the men had forfeited a share in the man* agemejjt voluntarily without consulting the Government, who adhered to their belief in the wisdom of the provision. The debate was adjourned.—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn.
