RAILWAY OFFICES.
In a recent issue, t3ie Railway Officers' Advocate had the following> "The most unfair and oppressive act performed by the Hon. Mr Millar in his capacity of Minister of Raliways was tihe gazetting and enforcement of regulation 55. Designed, so it was said by the chief clerk to the Railway Department during the 1911 petition, for tihe protection of the mass of tihe officers, -tJhis regulation has lacted in quite the contrary direction and lias inflicted unwarrantable hardships upon many of the very mien it was supposed to protect; yet during the nine montlhs that ihave elapsed since the matter wag at first brought under the Hon. Mr Herries' official notice nothing lias been done to give the relief so urgently required. The Minister cannot reasonably urge that he has not had time, and more than time, to act in this matter; nor, in view of the instructions that have been issued with regard to certain of the regiuikitiona, providing for increased benefit® to members of the Second Division., can ihe isay that it could not be done until such time as the regulations are completely remodelled."
