Agriculture, the Minister of Transport, the railway companies, the Licensing Authorities and the associations of road operators, in the near future, was forecast by Mr. W. A. Winson, president of the C.M.U.A,, at a meeting at Epping on Monday.
He was dealing with the Government's plans for speeding up agricultural production and the resultant need for an additional 1,000,000 tons of haulage. (This matter is fully explained on page 6B4 of this issue.) Mr. Winson pointed out that this was, perhaps, the first time the Government of this country had found itself compelled to turn to road transport for aid in time of peace. He emphasized that the action so tar taken in connec tion with the Government's scheme was an outstanding example of work that could be done only by an association. He cited it as an unanswerable argument that hauliers should support their associations.
Mr. F. F. Fowler, chairman of the London and Home Counties Division of the Association, stressing the need for organization, declared that the outcome of the Bouts-Tillotson case, earlier this year, would inevitably be a new drive by the railways for fresh legislation directed towards the repression of road transport. Operators must be organized to fight that movement; and organization meant 100-per-cent. membership of the associations.
Mr. J. L. Kinder, national organizer, also spoke and pressed the case for unity.
