APPEAL BY LABOUR M.P.
ACTION OF RAILWAYMEN CRITICISED.
(Received Last Night, 10.55 o'clock.) LONDON, Sept. 15.
Mr J. H. Thomas, Labour member for Derby, speaking at a meeting of railwaymen in Victoria Park, appeal- : ed to the men not to fritter away their powers and prostitute the great position they held. There was clanger, he said, in calling out the railwaymen over every little sectional dispute. Such action would lead to anarchy. He did not believe that five per cent, of those who demanded thirty shillings a week as a minimum wiage, had given five minutes' consideration to what was meant by the demand.
