THE STRIKE SPREADS
LONDON, January 22. (Received January 23, at 11 a.m.) The motor bus strike has spread. Twenty-six out of London’s fortyeight garages, involving 13,000 drivers and conductors out of 20,000, are affected, bringing to a standstill 2,300 buses. Many districts in the east and south-west arc without buses. Lord Ashfield, the chairman, has issued a notice emphasising that the issue is w'hether • the agreements between the trade unions and the company are to be honoured. He says the company takes the same view thereon as the Transport Workers’ Union, that unless agreements are honoured collective bargaining will end, and the machinery arising from many years of negotiation will be destroyed. The strikers have appealed to the train, tram, and tube workers to assist in their “fight against the intolerable conditions due to speed.”
