Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A PARAGRAPH headed "Travels as Mate to Hear

• " Complaints," in your issue dated May 13, referred to Mr. K. Russell, an urban councillor, travelling by night on a British Road Services' lorry from Birmingham to Sheffield, to question private-enterprise drivers as to their conditions of service and to hear their complaints.

Mr.. Russell appears to believe that these men are having a rough deal under private owners and are being forced to work excessive hours. We and our drivers, of whom there are 20, would much like to see Mr. Russell, and we are sure that the drivers would inform him that they do not in any circumstances wish to go back to nationalized transport. In fact, we would like him to travel on a private-enterprise vehicle, stop at cafes and ask the B.R.S. drivers if they would prefer to work under private enterprise.
