In the ordinary sense of tho term, however, he was no anarchist and he iluug tho taunt hack into the teeth of the Premier. Tho railway workers were fighting merely against tho Government’s determimi- tion to force them hack to the pre-war in­ dustrial conditions. The Government had accepted tho ffudings of a commission that tho lowest sum a policeman could he expected to live on wa.s 70s. per week and he claimed tliat if th at was the minimum for one class of workers it should be for all. (Hear, hear.) The minimum offered to railway men was .£2 2s. which did not represent .£1 a week before tho war. They need not blame Sir Anckhind Geddes. Ho was merely the Government dreadnouglit. The railway men urged the wliole industrial siibiiiarinc to torpedo that dreadiiouglit. Air. 7,eo strongly condeiiined tJie action of tlio overnment lit withlioldiiig tile pay of failway men.
