fresh capital for the improvement and extension
OF their lines. Railway servants are syste-
matically overworked and underpaId. and their
grievances cannot be redressed when expendi-

duced and earnings increased without cessation

traders, travellers shippers and workmen can
be effectively protected, or what is TO become
