WHAT WILL N.U.R. DO?
HOLD KEY TO SITUATION.
_ . LONDON, 21st January. It is impossible to foreshadow the extent of the strike until it is known how many N.U.R. drivers are affected; ■Mi\xßromley ' .expects that at least 60,000 enginemen and firemon will respond to his call. . Some claim that 80 per cent, of the normal railway service will be stopped, but the companies hope ta continue a service equal to Sunday's. Little trouble is expected regarding suburban traffic.'. >
The main line trains, which started before midnight, stopped at the first lag station after the strike had begun. In some cases N.U.R. drivers struck in sympathy, but in other cases N.U.R. drivers carried the trains to their destinations after the strikers had left the trains.
The Irish' mail was only twenty minutes late at Crewes .
