From our Industrial Correspondent

DESPITE offers to bring forward the annual review of pay, the London busmen's ban on overtime and rest-day working entered its third week with no real sign of any solution in sight. On the contrary, there were indications that the men's tempers were getting shorter and that any attempts to break the ban would be met by a tightening up of the campaign, including strikes.

An appeal by London Transport to call off the ban in return for immediate pay talks, negotiations on a possible productivity deal and the introduction of a five-day week was turned down by the busmen's nine-man negotiating committee.

In particular the committee was annoyed when it was found that although pay talks could start at once, no increases would be paid before June, the month when increases under the pay review normally take effect.

A six-hour meeting between union representatives and the Board, on Tuesday, was adjourned without any signs of an early solution to the dispute. The working party met again on Wednesday for further talks.
