The Hull tramwaymen who have been dismissed because they volun- teered during the General Strike have instructed a solicitor to start! a test case against the city council. Lady Houston, the widow of the millionaire shipowner, has not only offered to pay the costs of the case, but has offered to pay the wages, amounting to £500 a week, of the 115 dismissed men.
The men's solicitor has taken the advice of a well-known KC., who has stated that
