WORKERS' TRAINS.
Sir, —The Papatoetoo Chamber of Commerce is making a move in the right direction by calling a conference to deal with tho question of workers' trains and the new station. Hundreds of workers aro wondering if the Railways Department really means to dump them down a milo from tho city and make them walk in all weathers to' their places of business, for trams will never copo with the present number that travel by train. A line at present runs from tho new station sito along Quay Street. Well, could not tho department make use of it to convey passengers to a covered-in platform at the old dock site? Unless a way is found, in spite of red-tape methods, of con"?ying passengers nearer the city when tho old station goes, if it must go, tho working public will cry out for more buses, and in more ways than one injure tho railway servico the department wants to make popular. Dail¥ 'lravellEß.
