Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Mr. C. F. Rymer, commenting on the emergency motor coach' and bus services instituted during the recent strike, says that at such a time one certainly expects a certain amount of elasticity in the regulations' governing the operation of passenger vehicles.

"In common with others." he says, "my firm arranged, at some considerable expense, to put a number of passen ger-carrying vehicles at the disposal of the Aeiblie, connecting up the outlying districts of West Kirby, Hoylake and Moreton with the Mersey Railway. Imagine our surprise when, upon taking up afternoon duty on the first day of the dispute at Park Station, Birkenhead, our vehicles and others were removed by the local police authorities on the ground that, whilst we were covered by the

Wallasey authorities, we were not in order in picking up, passengers within the county borough of Birkenhead." Mr. Rymer. Says that the individual inconvenience caused to ..tkie business section of the public should surely carry some weight in the circumstances such

as those associated with ine recent strike, but it often happens that officials show no elasticity whatever.
