The A.S.R.S.
WAGES BOARD COMMISSION.
NO QUESTION OF A STRIKE.
Per Press Association
Wellington, January 17
Tlie Hon. W. F. Mas soy, speaking of the Christchurch telegram re*the railwayman's ballot, said there was some mistake. The Department had no quarrel with the employees, particularly with the A.S.R.S. He had stated some time ago that in this matter of wages he would consent to the setting up of another Wages Board Commissioni, similar to last year’s. Ho understood this was agreed to, and the whole question would be discussed before it. They heard nothing of a strike and did not believe it.
Mr Mack, secretary to the A.S.R.S. says there is no question of a strike, and what Mr Massey said about the Commission was correct. Members were being asked to ■sote not on a thought-out strike question, but as to whether they would support the executive in any action it may take, which was purely a precautionary measure.
