INVERCARGILL.
A public meeting was held lasb night re the dismissal of officers of bho Railway Society. The idea prevailed thab it was limibed bo Unionists, and only a hundred were present.
A resolution was passed thab bhe acbion of bhe Commissioners was arbitrary and in violation of tho pledge given that none would be made to suffer for baking parb in bhe affairs of bhe Railway Socieby. The opinion was expressed that the Commissioners should be thanked for showing themselves in their true colours before the election, and a motion was carried to tbe effect that while they acted in a needlessly harsh and arbitrary manner, the meeting was of opinion thab ib was unwise of tho employees to move in the mabter, which was one calling for political interference. Ib was also agreed to telegraph to the Southland members to do all in their power to get the men roinstabod, and in the evenb of non-success bhe meeting would do ibs besb to compensate the men for their sacrifice in the cause of Unionism.
