TRAFFIC DISLOCATED
TRAM AND BUS STRIKE CAFETOWN CONTROVERSY CAPETOWN, April 6. A tram and bus strike dislocated traffic in Capetown during Easter. The train company recently absorbed the opposition bus run to Sea Point and appointed Mr. Hughes, owner of the opposition company, manager of the Sea Point section. The men refused to join the Tram Union and struck at midnight. Police guarded the garages, but strikers succeeded in getting through a skylight to the headquarters depot and removed all essential parts, as well as deflating all tyres.- It was raining to-day, and the full effect of the strike will not be felt until the resumption of business to-morrow.
