§ 96. Mr. JAMES THOMASasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the long hours that are continuously being worked by the Great Northern Railway enginemen and firemen in the Bradford district; and, having regard to the strain upon the men and the consequent danger that must arise to the travelling public from these long periods of duty, what action he proposes to take in the matter?
