ATTACKS ON TRANSPORT
LONDON, sth May. The omnibuses in the Renfrewshire district had to be withdrawn, after a number had been forced to speed up to escape pursuing assailants. At Dundee the manager of the tramways tried to run a car. The strikers blocked the line, and the car was abandoned. At Nottingham the strikers seized the carburettors and poured out the petrol of omnibuses which were being worked by volunteers. A hundred tramcars and omnibuses are operating in Edinburgh, Worked mostly by students. Fifty per cent, of the tramway employees in Portsmouth resumed when threatened with dismissal. Extra police drafted in Newcastle soon quelled the attacks on motor-buses.
