"On behalf of Mr. Casey, myself and the Railway Board I say definitely that so far as dismissals arc concerned they have not increased since my assumption of office or since the Railway Board took office, unless or except by reason of the fact that there has been aiv~ increase in serious irregularities committed by the staff."
