RAILWAYMEN CONFER, , (Received this dav at 10 a.m A . • LONDON, July 4. Tlie Railwaymen’s Conference at Southampton passed a resolution that the chaotic condition of road transport increasing and accidents and wretched, conditions of the- employees wore, a menace to the community’s well-beipg. The Government was requested ’to bring road, rail and air transport under national control as a single unit, eliminating competition and promoting an economical development. The mover pointed out that the National Union of Railwaymen always favoured the natioalisation of railways, and now it included roatd and air services. Mr Cramp agreed only a -comprehensive scheme of co-ordination and nationalisation could benefit the community. Public safety alone justified the demand for nationalisation. Many road drivers were .safer behind a machine gun than a steering wheel.
