SNAIL PACE TRAFFIC

LONDON BUS STRIKE i CORONATION CROWDS ABROAD Tube Congestion Growing Worse Press Association —Copyright. London, May 5. The infiltration of people to inspect the incomplete Coronation decorations is adding to the city's traffic congestion, which again to-day moved at a snail’s pace in the West End, despite the absence of buses. The crowding of the tubes seemed worse . this morning and the running of I schedules was appreciably slower. I Better organisation at the tube staItions prevented a repetition of yesterday’s difficulties. Meanwhile concern has arisen through the tramwaymen and trolley busmen asking the Transport Union J executive to grant them plenary powjers in strike action. The secretary isays if help is refused the men are | likely to act unofficially because they are upset through the busmen thinkI ing they are blacklegging. Such illi feeling must be corrected.
