A THREAT to C-licence holders was I—% contained in the speech made by Mr. J. S. Campbell, assistant secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen, at Doncaster this week. He referred to the "vast amount of traffic that was obstructing the roads," and, which would be better conveyed by railway, and went on to say that there had been a continuance of a piratical outlook towards the railways marked by the keen price competition of private road haulage.
"We see the real menace in the issue of C licences, because you cannot hope to control 65,000 licence holders, and it is inevitable that C-licensees are carrying some traffic which does not belong to them," he said.
" By Parliamentary action and by representation to the Minister of Transport, we hope to be able considerably to curtail the issue of these -licences," he continued, and then went on to accuse the Minister of having capitulated to the C-licence holders, among the biggest of whom was the Co-operative Wholesale Society.
