STATEMENT BY ASSOCIATION.
MEN NOT YET APPROACHED.
[BY TELEGRAm.— ASSOCIATION.]
WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
Apart from the industrial and commercial dislocation which a stoppage of the railways is bound to cause the thoughts of the public on hearing of the impending strike were at ones turned to the Royal tour which is taking place over the North Island. If arrangements are not made to run th e Royal train thousands of people will be denied the long-anti-cipated privilege of welcoming the Prince of Wales and the extensive arrangements for his reception will be upset. The officials of the Enginedrivers. Firemen and Cleaners' Association have not yet been approached regarding their willingness to provide a crew for the Royal train. "We have not considered the matter yet," stated the general secretary, "and it i s for the Government to make the first move. Any representations from the Government will be considered immediately."' It is reported, however, that an offer to provide a crew to man the Royal train has already been made to the Government.
