PATRIOTIC RAILWAY MEN
ENLISTMENTS FROM CERTAIN BRANCHES BARRED.
SYDNEY, 31st March.
The railway employees responded so freely to the call of Empire that • the Commissioners found it necessary to bar enlistments from certain branches of the service.
Tlie mechanical department was so depleted that the military authorities agreed not to accept any more mechanics from the railways, and to discharge those who had already enlisted, to enable them to return to railway employ. Altogether 4150 railway men enlisted, also 151 men engaged in home defence.
