Rail Fare Increases Spark Postcard Petition Drive
A reader reports that from October 1st rail fares will rise due to State Parliament action. Sunshine and Footscray Communist branches organized a petition against the increases, with 1800 signatories and 15 groups planning a deputation to Transport Minister Stoneham. The minister refused, noting a similar deputation in 1946, and proceeded with fare hikes, burdening workers and rail users. The author says the local Council should protest on behalf of ratepayers.
