MOTOR-BUS STRIKE
SPREAD IN LONDON
transport dislocated AGREEMENT NOT HONOURED MEN'S OBJECTION TO SPEED By Telegraph—Preisa Association—Copyright LONDON", Jan. 22 The strike of motor-bus employees in London has spread to 26 of the 48 garages in the metropolis and now involves 13,000 drivers and conductors out of 20,000. The trouble has brought to a standstill 2300 buses and many districts in the east and south-west of London are without that means of transport. Lord Ashfield, chairman of the London General Omnibus Company, has issued a notice emphasising that the issue is whether agreements between the trades unions and the company are to be honoured. He says the company takes the same view of the matter as the Transport Workers Union, namely, that unless agreements are honoured collective bargaining will end and the machinery arising out of many years of negotiation will be destroyed.
The strikers have appealed to the workers on the trains, trams and tube railways to assist in the fight against the intolerable conditions due to speed.
