THE RAILWAY SERVICE.
NO CONNECTION WITH SYNDICALISM.
WELLINGTON, May 6
Mr R.Hampton, president of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, in an interview with a "Post" reporter to-day, said in view of certain statements in the Press he wished to state that his Society did not outbid other Labour . organisations. It had been suggested to the Society of Railway Servants that the latter should join with them for the purpose of adopting syndicalist methods of organisation.
"It seems'to be imagined," he added, "that railway servants wish to combine in order, as it were, to hold up the general public at the point of the pistol in any action we may take, either as a separate organisation or in conjunction with any other bodies. The public may rest, assured that no such action will be taken for our own selfish ends, and nothing will be done or agreed to by us which is opposed to the welfare of the general public."
