GOOD FEELING SHOWN. HARDEST WORK TO COME. (by TELEGRAPH-PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, June 25. “I think we may say that when wo started we had some qualms as to what might happen,” remarked Mr. .Justice Frazer at the concluding stages of the Railway Inquiry Board’s sitting this morning. " “So far as I am concerned, and, I think, so far as the members of the hoard are concerned,” added his Honor, “we have been surprised because the case, has been conducted without any ill-feeling at all. I was satisfied the department’s case would he well presented hv Mr. Sterling, and I have been agreeably surprised with the ability and care with which Mr. Connelly (president of the A.S.R.S.) has placed his side before the Court. We have had less difficult cases that have extended over several weeks.”
His Honor remarked that the most difficult work of the hoard was yet to be done The Arbitration Court members had other appointments to go to, but they were putting those aside and they would get right into their report as soon as possible, not only because the case was important, but also because their other work was getting behind. The order of .reference gave them pntil July 31 to present their report, hut they expected that it would he in the hands of the Minister much earlier than that.
