THE CABMEN.
THE RAILWAY STATION BOYCOTT,
The following letter has been received by the cabmen, in reply to their communication to the Mayor in regard to their differences with the Railway authorities:— "Gentlemen,—l am directed by His Worship the Mayor to return to you the summonses you sent, and to say he regrets very much the unfortunate position of affairs between the cabmen and the Railway Department, and trusts that a satisfactory settlement of the difficulty will be made, to prevent further public inconvenience; but his Worship cannot interfere in the matter, as the question is one entirely for the Railway Department and its officers.—l have, &c., P. T. Haskins, Town Clerk." The cabmen have decided that no cabs shall go to Manchester street South, in the hope of picking up fares from the station, and that no fares shall be taken between Coker’s Hotel and the South belt. Men have been told off to see that this decision is carried out, and have been instructed that, in the event of a cab being required in any emergency, such as an accident case, they are to telephone to the nearest cabstand for one.
