OBJECTIONS TO LIMITS ON RETURN TICKETS.
THE action of the Northern Traffic Commissioners in taking steps to prevent the use of return tickets for two journeys in the same direction has created public resentment in the area. The Durham Miners. Association has been asked to place the matter before the Minister of Transport, for the Commissioners' action is said to be causing considerable hardship to miners and others. The support of local authorities and Members of Parliament is being obtained in connection with the protest.
