TRAINS RUNNING AGAIN
JVIELBOURNE BUSMEN STILL OUT (Rec. 11.0) MELBOURNE', This Day.. Suburban electric trains began running again early to-day, but a mass meeting of tram ancTbus employees decided by 2100 votes to 14 to. continue their strike until they are granted pay increases. The tram and bus strike has now been going three weeks. The decision by train guards to return to work is regarded by the Labour Party industrial group as the most serious set-back suffered by Communism in Victoria, and a great personal rebuff to the Communist secretary of the Railways Board, Mr J. J. Brown. The guard’s section, which threw out the executive’s recommendation to continue the strike, has been one of Brown’s strongest cells for years.
