PRESENTATIONS were made at a luncheon in London last week to Col. A. Jerrett to mark his long period of office as president and chairman of the Traders' Road Transport Association. He retired earlier this year, but remains on the national council as an honorary member, and is the first person to receive this honour.

Mr. S. C. Bond, the new president, who presided, said that a large part of the prestige which the T.R.T.A. held in the eyes of the Government and other national bodies concerned with transport could be attributed to Col. Jerrett. The days ahead were likely to be just as difficult as those past.

Tributes were paid to Col. Jerrett by many of the honorary officers of the Association, and Mr. F. D. FitzGerald, national secretary. Col. Jerrett, in reply, advised the Association to be ever vigilant. Apparently referring to some domestic squabble that was in progress, he said that differences of opinion were good, "but don't let friction wear you out."

COAL TRADE WAGE RISE SOON?

EMPLOYERS in the coal trade have undertaken to consider facts presented to them by the Transport and General Workers' Union in regard to a submission for an increase in pay. A meeting of the national joint industrial council for the distributive coal trade was due to take place on Wednesday.

The employers have pointed out the difficulties they experience through the control of the industry.
