A RAILWAY GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor) Sir, —It is common knowledge that some extremists advocate the extinction of tobacco, in addition to prohibition and the abolition of the totalisa-. tor. It would appear that the Railway Department is inclined to be sympathetic with such, and it is astonishing what the public "will" put up with. The tTain leaving Woodville at 2.45 p.m., connecting with the Auckland express, and reaching Masterton a few ,minute 9 before 6 o'clock, is a much-appreciated convenience to many. Yesterday, in addition to others, no fewer than twenty-seven passengers from the Main Trunk line were aboard. Since last Saturday, for some inexplicable reason, the smokmg carriage lias been "docked," and one carriage, of two compartments only j (first and: second class) provided. Consequently ladies have had to put up with the annoyance of travelling with men smoking, or the men, m deference to the ideas of g< od must refrain from indulging. The press has repeatedly voiced the inoon-, venience off the Wairarapa travelling public at the hands of the railway authorities ; but this, the latest interference with the privileges of the public, is comply monstrous. —I am, 'etc., O. C. COOPFE.
