NO SUPPORT.
RAILWAY OFFICERS AND UNION. ■:Pcr Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 27. After a lons discussion on the suggestion that the institute should participate in the formation of One Big Union of railwaymen, delegates at the annual conference of the New Zealand Railway Officers’ Institute defeated the proposal by an overwhelming majority. In a statement issued to-night, it was stated that the present arrangements, by which several railway organisations are united in the advocacy of matters of common interest, satisfied the present requirements of the service organisation and at the same time ensured to each unit the advantages of dealing with the special circumstances of its own members.
Mr E. \V. Barnes was elected president.
