RAILWAY WORKERS INDIGNANT
MR HAMILTON’S REMARKS ABOUT ACCIDENTS C - (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 24. A mass meeting of more than 1000 railway workshop employees at Otahuhu this morning passed a resolution expressing the “strongest disapproval with the recent utterances of the Leader of the Opposition (the Hon. Adam Hamilton) in casting a slur on a loyal body of State industrialists concerning recent unavoidable railway accidents. “We assure the Ministei- of Railways (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) and the public generally,” the resolution continues, “that the employees concerned are careful and diligent in their various occupations and that the standard of efficiency was never higher than at the present. Consequently, we trust intelligent people will treat with contempt such propaganda, ostensibly used for electioneering purposes.”
