STRIKE CAUSES
LONDONERSTO
LEARNTOWALK
LONDON, Peb. 15 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—There is i
legend in the United States that Eng
lishmen are great walkers. If the:
are, the recent tube strike showei
they don’t walk in London. When thii
strike forced Londoners to walk thej
didn't even know the way home
Policemen were amazed. One bif
“bobby” who keeps the traffic straighl
at the foot of Ludgate hill declared
that “city” business men had kept him
busy telling them how to get to soms
' °f tl* best known localities in Londor
the first day of the strike.
i “It’s past belief,” he commented
with some indignation, “that a mar
can ride on a bus for years betweer
, his hoifie and his office and still noi
l know the way when he has to foot it.’
While the strike lasted great queues
r formed at the bus stops. There was
[ one at Hammersmith estimated to bf
, nearly a mile long. Men, women and
= children struggled desperately to ride
Some of the women carried babies
Many of the men were crippled sol
diers in hospital blue. Some of the
children were pale little girls, faint
from weariness.
As the tube strike was coindent with
a strike of waiters and kitchen staffs,
thousands of hotel residents had to
do their walking hungry.
Overseas men, home for demobiliza
tion, emerging from railway stations
with their heavy ljits, discovered that
they would have to walk to the other
side of London.
“London is certainly mean to me,”
said an American soldier cheerfully.
Last time I visited here on leave there
was a bus strike. Time before that
the taxis had quit.”
British Tommies during the tube
strike stopped a Royal Air Force lorry,
throwing their kitB into it while they
bargained with the driver to take them
to their destination.
Many West End business houses put
their motor delivery vans at the dis
posal rtf home-going women and aged
men employes. In the huge and end
less processions of pedestrians home
ward-bound of an evening it was curi
ous to Americans to note the large
number of old people—mostly men—
gray-haired clerks of the shops and
“city” brokerage offices.
Besides delivery vans and lorries,
many rode in Red Cross ambulances.
Thousands were a-wheel, rusted bicy
cles having been brought to light from
many a basement.
Girl conductors showed skill and pa
tience in the emergency. The con
ductorettes kept a watchful eye on the
struggling crowd for the hospital blue.
“Full-up except for that lame Tommy,”
you would hear her cry, and the crowd
would fall back to let the limping and
embarrassed soldier through to the
coveted place.
