The proposal to extend the lours of labour in the railway service is °f Dominion-wide import, inasmuch as it must eventually adversely affect not °»ly railway workers, but also a large "wnber of other industries working a 44-hour waek. Further, the fact that "■any railwajjmen cannot maintain their '*ives and children on present salaries « an evil which Parliament should have »n opportunity of redressing."
