STAFFING OF STATIONS
A SUGGESTION FROM DUNEfiIN.
(BY TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL TO THE POST.)
"..:/: ■■'■':. EUNEDIN, This Day. . A Dunedm business man makes the following suggestion about the working of the railways : "Now that the strike ,is over the talk must commence about all sorts of questions, and one of them, I think, should relate to the staffing of stations, that provide very little work There must be a dozen:stations between Dunedin and Invercargill at which there is very little for the men to do except to attend to perhaps half a-dozen trains per day. It strikes me that it would be ■wise,, unless some technical difficulty presents itself, to leave each of those little stations to one man, and for each train to carry a staff of, say, six men to do all the work that is necessary. The one gan" could work all those stations.; If such I system could be brought about the country could afford higher wages to those who are employed." .
