Railway Servants' Resolution
. sir, —May I be permitted to enter a strong protest against the resolution recently passed by the railway servants m support of the Government’s import restrictions? , , , It is rather a blind and thoughtless resolution to support something that is in all probability going to put hundreds ot their fellow workmen out of employment, and to say the least is hardly in conformity with true unionism. What would the railway servants have to say if a union of warehousemen’s employees passed a resolution supporting a move to restore the transport services to private enterprise to make them a more efficient and paying service and not a burden on the taxpayer? The writer is by no means in favour of such a move, and is pretty certain that the workers in warehouses, etc., would not support any move likely to affect their fellow workers, the railway servants, but merely draws the comparison to illustrate how thoughtless and unfair to their fellow workers the railway servants’ resolution is.—l am, etc., WAREHOUSEMAN’S EMPLOYEE. Wellington, January 19.
