§ 97. Mr. JAMES HOGGEasked whether the North British Railway Company is entitled to reduce the wages of collectors who refuse transfers from the newly graded stations until such time as the result of the appeal by the men to the Board of Trade?
Mr. ROBERTSONI understand that the reduction in wages took effect before any application was made to the Board for an interpretation of the scheme. I hope that a decision on the point which has arisen with regard to the interpretation of the conciliation scheme can be given shortly.
