RAILWAY APPOINTMENTS.
Six,— Thursday's Herald there is a notice inviting applications for New Zealand Railways positions as junior porters and traffic labourers, aged 18 to 30 years. Each day we read that every effort is being made to encourage men to enlist, and yet here we have a branch of the Government service offering a premium to young men of military age to stay here instead of enlisting. ' As a married man with four dependants, 1 wonder if I am justified in carrying out my promise to enlist if required, while such inconsistency is shown by those in power. Surely it should be plainly stated that whilst returned soldiers or thise rejected for slight ailments are available no one eligible for enlistment would be engaged, otherwise a great number of these positions may be filled from the ranks of the 34,000 who have decided to do nothing for either Kingor country.
