MERCHANT NAVY
Rail Privileges Sought A. request that the Minister of Railways, Mr. Semple, authorize bis department to extend to members of the British Merchant Navy travelling privileges similar to those enjoyed by other branches of the Armed Forces was contained in notice of a question by Mr. Sutherland (Opposition. Hauraki) in the House yesterday. “These men,” said Mr. Sutherland in a note to his question, “are exposed to great danger on the high seas. In England men of the Merchant Navy receive four free rail warrants a year, and in addition they are also allowed cheap travel rates arranged through the Seamen’s Union. If these privileges could be granted ’in New Zealand it would be highly appreciated.”
