Frankness was a feature of the speech made at the Railway Officers’ Institute Reunion on Saturday, July 19th, by the General Manager of Railways (Mr. H. H. Sterling). Appreciating the warm expression of confidence by the Institute, he declared that in effect officers would only get out of the service in wages and conditions what they put into it in efficiency and loyalty to their organisation, the only means to give the public the service it required at the least possible cost.
