MR. J. H. THOMAS
(To tins Kditor (if tho IlorulO.) Sir,—May ] beg ;i little .space in your valuable paper to comment on Mr. J. 11. Thomas' rapid career. I remember the time when I was an employee of the Cheshire Lines ('oiniiiiU.ee, which embraced several railways, and also the strike of 1910, when only one train entered .Manchester that' day. Air, 'I honiiis made his appearance on' behalf of both employees anil employers and spoke to ns in .Albert Square, Manchester, as a delegate of the Railway Union. 1, amongst many, found him ;i great organiser both on behalf of the employers and employees. No doubt there are quite a few in this town, exemployees of tho railway .service, who will remember him well! I, no doubt with others, have watched his progress from time to time in spite of being miles and miles away, and am pleased to see him rise to a position which he richlv deserves.—Yours, etc., L.H.B.
