LONDON BUS STOPPAGE
STRIKERS ORDERED TO RESUME
(Rec. 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, Sept 16. A delegate conference of the Transport and General Workers’ Union, representing all London’s 58,000 tram, bus, and trolley-bus workers, to-night instructed the London transport strikers to return to work immediately. The resolution was passed by 101 votes to 25 after seven hours and a half of heated debate. The London Transport Board later issued a statement saying that it expected full, normal services to be in operation to-morrow. The London dock workers’ unofficial leaders to-day called on the dockers to join the transport strike. The Port Workers’ Committee—the unofficial group which led the recent dock strikes —distributed among dockers arriving for work, asking them to “prepare for action and unite with your brothers” in the struggle for higher wages.
