RAILWAY MEN AND THEIR PENSIONS.
Received Dec. 27, 10.7 a.m. Melbourne, Dec. 27. About 1400 men in the railway service wha are entitled to retire on pensions at sixty years of age have started a movement to secure for those of their number who desire to settle on land, permission from the Government to allow them to retire at fifty. The average pensiou at that ago would be about £10 a year. They argue that younger men could i do their work and effect a saving to tha State, while the State would be benefited by their settling on the land.
