▪ Mr. Ray Gunter, Minister of Labour, saw
Liverpool Corporation officials on Wednesday about the four-week strike of 3,400 Liverpool Du srn e n which has halted services on Merseyside. The Corporation, accompanied by leaders af the Municipal and General Workers' Union, irged the Minister to release the busmen's locally-agreed 23s a week rises before the Incomes Board probe is completed.
But the Transport Workers' Union boycotted the meeting because it was considered it could achieve nothing.
It was announced at a mass meeting on Wednesday that the TGWU and the General and Municipal Workers were to pay £4 a week hardship money to the strikers. Neither union was prepared, however, to declare the strike official and risk a head-on clash with the Government.
