(Received Sept. 14, 10.45 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 15. Mr. Thomas, organising secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, speaking to the railway men at Victoria. Park, appealed to the men not to fritter away their powers and prostitute the great position they held. There was a danger in calling out the railway men over every little sectional dispute. Such action would lead to anarchy. He did not believe that five per centum of those who demanded a 30s minimum wage had given five minutes’ consideration to what it meant. The demand was idle claptrap. He asked would the pay of the higher grades bo increased proportionately? If not, the demand was grossly unfair.
