RAILWAYMEN’S WAGES
f THE DRIVE FOR AN INCREASE By Tbleckaph— Pnnss Association. ■ Hamilton. January 18. A meeting of the Frankton branch of the A.S.R.S. decided to give hearty support to the executive in the demand for an increase in wages, pledging itself to support the executive in any action, however, drastic, it may take in demanding that at least the two recent cuts- in wages be restored. “The cost of living has increased and is increasing,” the resolution states, “and although tho country is at present in a prosperous state,. the unjust and inequitable dietributio-n of wealth is pressing unduly hard on railway workers. In common with other workers of the Dominion, we consider we are being unfairly treated in the matter of payment for services rendered to the community, and wo urge tho executive to act immediately.”
