Mr. Robert Taylor, general secretary of the Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association, last week declared that it was untrue to say that the representatives of his Association were content that Glasgow and district should be made Grade I, in the Wages Board negotiations.
" The Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association representatives were determined that the grading should be done by Scottish people and not left to London," he said.
" The Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association," added Mr. Taylor, " will never be satisfied until Grade 1, or a higher grade if that be possible, is applied to all its members. If effect be given to the decisions of the Scottish Board, the result will be substantial increases in wages for about 70 per cent, of the men employed in the industry, and in no case will there be a reduction in wages."
Segregation the Keynote for Safety.
"The recent House of Lords Report on the Prevention of Road Accidents stressed education and segregation of the various types of traffic as two most important means for increasing road safety."
Such were the opening words of Mr. Gaston Vincent (B.R.F.), last week, in a speech before Hayes and Harlington Rotary Club.
He further said that traffic segregations must undoubtedly be the keynote of future road improvement. So long as there was intermingling on the same surface, there would be accidents, however good that surface might be.
