The Railways Committee have brought down tho following report in connection with the petition of the Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners’ Acsocialion, who asked for the official recognition of their organisation;— 1. That in tho opinion of this Committee tiro Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants have represented tho enginedrivers, firemen, and cleaners equally as well as tho other sections of the Railway Service. 2. That due prominence has always been given to the requirements of tho enginedrivers, firemen, and cleaners when tho Railway Department has been approached by the delegates of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. 3. That notwithstanding this, and after hearing the evidence from both sides and carefully considering it, the Committee are of opinion that there is no possibility of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and the Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners’ Association coming to an agreement, and that as it is in the beet interests of the Railway Service that these two sections should work in harmony this Committee recommend the petition of tho Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleancrs’a Association to the Government for favorable consideration.
