SUSPENSION LIFTED
A.S.R.S. Branch In Canterbury
The suspension of the Canterbury branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants has been lifted. AU branch officers have been advised from Wellington to resume their former positions. Instructions have also been received from Wellington for returning all papers and books of the Canterbury branch of the society to the branch secretary (Mr G. R. Finlayson).
The national council of the society suspended the Canterbury branch on May 25. The general secretary of the society, Mr N. A. Collins, of Wellington, said then that the suspension stemmed from the refusal of the Canterbury branch to carry out the council’s instruction to handle whiting in E shed at the Christchurch railway yards. On May 30 a rowdy meeting, attended by 84 of the 1050 members of the Canterbury branch, took two hours to decide to ask the men of E shed to handle the whiting. Railway workers began unloading the whiting on May 31.
