INJURED RETURNED MEN
PROMOTION IN THE RAILWAYS.
QUESTION OF FITNESS; NO BIAS.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Christchurch, Aug. 9.
The chairman of the Railways Board, Mr. H. H. Sterling, takes exception to an allegation that returned men, because of war service disabilities, are being denied promotion in the railway service. Mr. Sterling said the suggestion that there was bias against returned men was entirely incorrect. The policy of the department, whenever possible, was to give consideration to returned men if they were fit for any position and, with all things equal, even to give them preference.
