GOOD-HUMOURED CROWDS
(Router's Tclegriun.) (Received 6th May., noon.) LONDON, sth May. Although on the second day of the strike all roads to the city were crowded with traffic, chiefly an endless procession of .private cars and food lorries, yet the conditions were very different. A twelve-mile run yesterday took two hours, to-day one hour. A number of omnibuses are working on tho principal routes, manned by volunteers. Even the stairways of tho vehicles are packed. There are distinct evidences of regub r, although attenuated train services, both for long-distance and suburban traffic. Tho tubes aro partially working, with queues outside the stations, which yesterday were closed. People going to the city by long routes from the suburbs are very good-humoured, despite tho dismal weather, with drizzle and mist.
