MAY a Traffic Commissioner4change his mind? This question was raised in the appeal of the Eastern National Omnibus Co., Ltd., against the action of the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner in granting George ,Ewer and CO-., Ltd., a certain picking-up point
in Mile End Road, London. The appeal has been dismissed, with costs.
The "Eastern National" submitted that the Commissioner was not entitled to refuse an application-and then, the next day, reverse his' decision. The Minister considers that, in all the cir
cumsta.nces, the Commissioner acted within his powers and it remains for him (the Minister) to determine the case on its merits.
'GLASGOW WORKERS RESTLESS.
DISSATISFACTION has arisen amongst the employees of Glasgow Corporation transport department. At a meeting of the night staff of the department the attitude of the Labour members of the council in refusing to put into operation the conditions of the Joint Industrial Council, was condemned. It was decided to hold a mass meeting of employees this week.
Bailie Hood, convener of the wages and conditions of service committee, declared that, so soon as the application of the corporation for membership of the J.I.C. is accepted, the wages and conditions of the latter body will be put into force.
The corporation was informed on Saturday that its application had been approved, and the wage S of all transport workers will be reviewed at the next meeting.
