From our Industrial Correspondent
LEADELEADERS of the National Union of
RS have refused to lift their ban on private road hauliers entering the proposed new liner traits depots. A special meeting of the Union's executive voted by a three-to-two majority to reaffirm their opposition to free access.
On the face of it the Union's refusal td change their mind is a severe blow to Dr. Beeching's plans. But his aides profess to be by no means disheartened. They are still convinced that the Union will in the end come round to his point of view and thatthere will be no appreciable delay in introducing the first £.6m. stage of the liner train scheme early next year.
One reason for their optimism is the dwindling size of the majority against allowing in private hauliers, It showed that Dr. Beeching's arguments at a recent meeting have had some effect; they also believe that Mr. Sidney Greene, N.U.R. general secretary, is now convinced that it will be necessary to change the Union's attitude.
