SHOULD AUSTRALIAN WOMEN King Of Nepal Handful Of Pioneers BECOME TRAM DRIVERS?
Melbourne, May 8.
Women are losing the early rounds in a battle for the right to drive electric trama. But, with the law and the Tramways Board on their side, Melbourne may yet see all-female tram crews.
Melbourne's more than a million population walked or stayed "put" for half a day recently, when tramway employees of both sexes held a 3,000 strong maSS meeting to debate the issue.
Some conductresses want to become drivera. The Tramways Board supports their desire and so do some of the men.
The Board secretary, Mr E.V. Flekis, explained that the element of danger from possible Lanserupulous passengers
