RAILWAY SERVANTS' SUPERANNUATION. THE BACK TIME QUESTION. In reference to the statement oi : Mr Veitch. president' of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, telegraphed from Wangamii, that the Canterbury branch had been misinformed as to the offer to buy in the back "time of those who participated in the strike of 1890 for the sum of £1500, Mr Jull, chairman of the branch, informed a reporter that the position was perfectly understood by his branch. "The position ifi," he said, '•' that the Executive has placed the responsibility of accepting the offer or otherwise on the shoulders of individual members of the Society by determining to take a ballot of tho whole of the members on tho question. Knowing that a large majority of the members are not fully acquainted with the question on which they are asked to vote, the branch has decided to send delegates throughout the dominion to impress on all concerned the deep debt of gratitude that- is owing to the strikers, so that when they are called on to vote they will bo in a position to do justice to those who bore "the brunt of tho battle in the maritime strike, and placed the workers in the position they occupy to-day. :>
