LONDON BUS STRIKE

Extension of Trouble APPEAL FOR SUPPORT * London, Jan. 22. The motor-bus strike, has spread to twenty-six out of London’s forty-eight garages, involving 13,000 drivers and conductors out of 20,000, and bringing to a standstill 2300 buses. Many districts in the East and South-West are without buses. Lord Asbfield. chairman of the London General Omnibus Company, lias issued a notice emphasising that the issue is whether agreements between the trader unions and the company are to be honoured. The company takes the same view on the'matter as the Transport Workers’ Union, that unless agreements are honoured, collective bargaining will end, and the machinery created by many years’ negotiation will be destroyed. The strikers have appealed to the train, tram, and tube workers to assist the “fight against intolerable conditions due to speed.”
