T a conference at Bristol, last -r-1 Saturday, held by the Labour Party and the trade union movement to protest against the Transport Bill, Mr. Herbert Morrison said that he would not support industrial action against the Bill if constitutional measures failed. He thought that such action would be contrary to parliamentary democracy.
At a meeting at Manchester attended by nearly 3,000 people, Mr. Attlee said that the losses to be incurred in selling back the Road Haulage Executive's assets to private enterprise were to be paid by those who would not benefit at all.
He described the Transport Bill as one of Mr. Churchill's fads, and said that it would be a great disservice to the country. It would also place a serious burden on the next Labour Government, which would havg to put matters right and do so ,without paying extravagant compensation.
Mr. G. R. Strauss, speaking at Leeds, went so far as to say that the next Labour Government would pay no compensation.
Mr. Attlee also addressed a meeting at Liverpool last Sunday.

THE North-Eastern Electricity Board has notified Darlington Transport Department of a proposal to increase the charges for electricity for the department's trolleybuses, depot and offices. This will raise costs by more than £7,000 a year.
