THE RAILWAY STRIKE.
The whole of New Zealand vyill welcome the end of the railway strike. There was another conference on Saturday night between the Prime Minis'll and .the E.F.C.A. delegates, the result of which'was that the men -waived their claim to retrospective pay-, meat of increases, and agreed to' /'the referring of the dispute to a tribunal. ■As soon as Mr Massey pushed “officialdom’' aside and 'handled the matter himself in that Tactful manner. - for which lie is noted] the dispute came to ( an end. The settling of the dispute is another personal triumph for Mr Massey. ’“Officialdom;” has too long denied the men a “square deal,” but Mr Massey is determined that the grievances of the men shall be thoroughly investigated, and if there; is .justifica- * lion for them, that they shall lie removed. As Mr Massey says' the strike has left no bitter feering behind, and both the Prime Minister and the men deserve credit for having brought to an end, without further loss to the country, one of the most unfortunate “ holds-up ” of transport ever recorded in the history of the Dominion.
