RAILWAYMEN PROTEST AT WAGE REDUCTION
Fer Press Association. ROTORUA, November 25. At a well attended meeting of the Rotorua branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants the following resolution was passed: “ That this branch strongly protests against the action of various Farmers' Unions and Chambers of Commerce in calling upon the department to reduce the wages of the staff to enable produce and fertilisers to be carried at cheaper rates. We feel that the bodies concerned have very little knowledge of the wages conditions of the bulk of our members, and deeply resent being called upon to sacrifice wages to assist those who in most cases are a great deal better off than our members.”
