From Source 1,
" Police used fire hoses yesterday to disperse pickets of the Singapore Bus Workers' Union, who were illegally obstructing the gate of the Hock Lee Bus Company depot in Alexandra Road.
The hosing was ordered by magistrate, Mr T. Kulasekaram, after the pickets had ignored repeated warnings that they were committing an offence in trying to stop the company's buses from leaving."
From Source 2,
" They divided the workers into two different sections and those who would not grumble or strike for better wages were members of the Hock Lee Bus Workers Union.
" We asked for a day's leave. They purposely refused to grant us a day off. It was necessary for us to attend a meeting of our union to consider better conditions of service." The spokesman said."
