EPLYING to accusations made by a contributor in the article, "The ways Take Off the Gloves," pubtd last week, Mr. R. Morton ;hell, chief executive officer of the d Haulage Association, said: Normally I would restrain myself replying to a contributor so rant of the true facts as John Jame, whose nom de plume seems Wally inappropriate. It would be rely misleading, however, to allow impression to stand that the Road lage Association had the final say my of the terms of the Transport 1953.
The Association's representatives negotiated with the Government he Transport Bill were well aware the differences between the two isport Bills, and made representa to the Government on many ts, including that referred to by
Wisdome. Once the subsidy part se Transport Levy was dropped, the ernrnent were more concerned with tg the railways the maximum iom on charges than in giving any ial .protection to road hauliers."
