RAILWAY DISMISSALS.
Men Call on Government to Intervene. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, December 15. The branches of the Railway Tradesmen’s Association and Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants at the Hutt workshops have passed a resolution calling on the Government to bring pressure on the Railway Board to refrain from further dismissals. It is felt, said the resolution, that plans should be devised to enable the latest lot of dismissal notices, numbering about forty, to be withdrawn. Many of the men are of long service and all are highly qualified. STRATFORD LINE. Per Press Association. STRATFORD, December 15. About sixty single men employed on the Stratford Main Trunk railway have been given notice of dismissal, to take effect on December 19. This is an indication that the construction work is nearing completion. Apart from the tunnel contract, which keeps twenty men going, there is nothing to do besides small fillings and cleaning up.
