RAILWAY CLASSIFICATION BILL.
MEN'S COMPLAINTS. By Telegraph—Press Association. OAMARU, November 11. Feeling runs high amongst members of the first division of the Railway Departments in regard to the provisions in the Railway Classification Bill, and may be described as somewht akin to that whkJi prevailed amongst members of the second division during the great maritime strike. The men complain that, whereas ample provision has been made for the higher paid men of the service receiving £350 per annum and over), absolutely nothing whatever has been done for men in the grades between £IBO and £350, and the great majority of the men concerned come within the scope of these salaries. A meeting was held last week, to consider the position, and the Bill was condemned in such strong terms that it was not considered advisable to disclose what took place, but it is understood that the contents were condemned as being a most unwarrantable disappointment. Members of Parliament arebeing communicated with.
