RAILWAYS TRIBUNAL
TO SIT ON OCTOBER 9
The claims' of the men would be O G tnh^by Q the- Railways Tribunal on October 9, said the general secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Rail-way-Servants, Mr. L. Mcllvride, today It would be a priority sitting. The Executive Council had not authorised the substitution of the claims, as it was only carrying out the policy laid aown by the conference. The Department, Mr. Mcllvride con-i tlnued, offered counter-proposals, which were subject to almost daily discussions, and were amended by the Department from time to time Although they contained many good features as a whole, ihey were not accepted by the executive. The counter-proposals were put forward as affecting all departments, and were in some ways unacceptable. They were withdrawn by the Department, which submitted -further counter-proposals, intimating that they were final. These, also, were 'found not acceptable, and .were withdrawn by the Department. Negotiations broke down; on September 20,-leaving the original conference claims to '.go to the Railways Tribunal, .over which neither branches nor 'executive had any authority, and this was the only logical or possible step.
