The formation of the Hull and East Yorkshire Operators' Association, the purpose of which is stated to be the handling of local problems, is the subject of a statement this week, by Mr. G. H. Brook, secretary of the C.M.U.A. North-Fa stern Division.
Referring to the announcement of the new Association, Mr. Brook remarked that this "would certainly indicate to those people who are not aware of the true position, that there are not already associations interesting themselves in the problems of Hull. . .
"The C.M.U.A. decided that the needs of its Hull and East Riding members would be better catered for by the opening of an office in Hull, and an office was, therefore, opened, with a permanent staff, on January 1 of this year; and there is a live committee in existence, dealing with the local problems.
" So far as the timber-haulage problem is concerned, the position might very usefully be clarified. The strongest possible opposition to the railway company's attitude is being prepared, not only locally, where intensive work is being put in, but nationally as well " At this particular stage in the history of road transport, unity is more vital than ever before."
