a sorios of guerilla strikes in Scotland by tho Scottish Ilorse and Motormen's Association has smashed the pay pause in road haulage. Tho bosses have been forced to pay a wage award immodiately instead of waiting until January 10th. Over 1,000 men were involvod in the strikes, some of which only lasted a day or two, until the firms capitulated. The awird consists of a 6 shillings increasoand a two hours cut in the working week. This victory,whilst small in content, is of importance in the lessons it contains for other sections of the working class.
