"Abominable
Decision
A DEPUTATION is to be sent from the London Workers' War Vigilance Com- mittee to the Minister of Transport to press for an inquiry into the authorised 10 per cent, increase in ruil fures and rates, it was stated at a protest meeting of the com- mittee recently.

There was a strong feeling throughout the organised workers of London against the imposition of increased fares, said the chairman, Mr. Robert Willis, secretary of the London Trades Council. Hardship on the travelling public merited consideration as well as the interests of the companies and, their shareholders.
Mr. Herbert Morrison, M.P., said the railway companies and the Government were finan- cially Interested in keeping up railway revenue and there was no impartial person in this instance to look after the interests of railway users.

"Tribunal Ignored"
"That is an abominable arrange- ment and an abominable decision.”
Mr. Morrison complained that the Ministry hud ignored the Railway Rates Tribunal,
