RAILWAYMEN’S WAGES
SOUTH AFRICAN SERVICES. PROTESTS AGAINST REDUCTION. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) CAPETOWN, September 3<X The railway signals are at danger tonight as the result of a mass meeting of all branches of the services in the sports ground at Johannesburg. It was the biggest meeting of public servants ever held there. An added significance is that it was held on the eve of the resumption of the Conciliation Board’s conference. The meeting protested most strongly against the decisions to reduce and withdraw the local allowances, and the differentiation of allowances between married and single men, which was described as a very dangerous principle. The meeting demanded a fresh inquiry into the cost of living, on which, the allowances were based.
