WHAT MEN OVERLOOKED.
PART PLAYED BY MOTORS. KEEPING DOMINION GOING. COMPLETION AFTER STRIKE. REAL RIVAL TO RAILWAYS. fBT TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT ] CHRIBTCHUECB:, Saturday. " Do you see that?" said the manager of a largo local engineering firm, indicating a heavily laden motor-lorry that was passing. " That, is what the railwaymen overlooked when they chose to go on strike. These vehicles are keeping New Zealand going at the present time and naturally there is big demand for them, especially as petrol is easily obtainable. It the strike goes on for any length of time, I should not be surprised if every one was put on the road that is now held in stock. One of the results of the strilte will be to give motor transport such an impetus that the railways will take a long time to recover from it."
