The resumption of the railway services has been as rapid and complete aa,the . cession of services was last- week. f The executives of the railwaymen's ; organisations co-operated heartily with the Bailway Department in restoring the running of trains ca aM the North Island lines, and there does not appear to have been a-hitch at any poin\ . Th « men went back to work with a will. Some heavy trains were Tim today with goods that have been awaiting transport, and a few days will bo required to get back tfo normal in this respect. ; * The ne'xt business in connection with the complete settlement of the strike—for it will not be completely settled until the committees have met, discussed theclaima of the three societies of the railway se» vice, and made recommendations acceptable to them all and to the Government -ris the netting tip of these committees. The first move in tins' direction will . probably be made by "the Government , through the Prime Minister, and his most difficult task will be in the choice of. suitable men to act as chairmen. When ho has selected one or more- ho wi'l submit the, names to the " societies * for ■ their approval or otherwise. It is not anticipated that there will be airy bitch on this question, but it may not be. easy for the Minister to find the man ho seeks, and having found him to persuade him to undertake the work.
