Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

QPECIAL codes used by food manu facturers on their packs required experienced regular drivers, familiar with these markings: hired drivers were less efficient, it was claimed at Glasgow last week when J. and R. Wright, of Glasgow, who operate a composite of 77 vehicles, mainly on foods, fruits and provisions work, were refused a variation of their A licence to add five vehicles of 15 tons, For Wright's it was claimed that work had extended through relocation of customers' premises in Airdrie, Paisley and elsewhere, increasing distances and adding travelling time. In many eases, Wright's were the sole contractors involved and had been asked to improve their facilities.

For John F. Dunn, Ltd., objecting, it was pointed out that they had lost business to. Wright's and that they had surplus capacity.

Refusing the application, Mr. W. F. Quin said there was no real evidence of increased customer business except for Heinz, no evidence of custonier inconvenience,' and that hiring figures • had not been broken down.
