Later, however, 'after she has decided to withdraw. accept the nomination she was convinced that the fight should be waged on national issues—the Housing Finance Act, rates, rising prices, the prices and incomes policy (Phase Two), the Industrial Relations Act, school milk and meals. But right-wingers in the local party told her that they were 'sick of Tory-bashing'. After deliberating on the issue Mrs Fahey wrote to the secretary of the local Labour Party and also to the Stockport 'Advertiser'.

Following a would not agree fore, to publish labour and trade for withdrawing.

I HAVE withdrawn forthcoming election as prospective candidate of Cheadle Hulme constituency, and my are as follows.

That I feel my socialist views are very different from those of the committee that I am working with.

Their ideas are that we should not offend the Tories in the area, and one person actually stated 'don't let us go Torybashing'. Needless to say one must realize that the Tories are continually bashing the socialist party in every possible way.

I have found the same situation prevailed in the Cheadle Hulme area as did in the Wilmslow constituency.

They are completely out of touch with real workers. This prevails at both local and national level, and I would hasten to remind the party that Messrs Jenkins and his followers are not the true voice of the socialists, and Mr Jenkins is not the party leader yet. It is the workers of this country who will change the leadership of the party, not the right-wing Labour membership af constituencies TODAYIS TV FILM: "FORTY GUNS TO APACHE PASS'. Audie Murphy.

PRIORITIES. considerable delay Mrs Fahey learnt to publish the letter in full. She has it in Workers Press so that membe union movement are made aware Fahey has announced that date for Cheadle Hulme at ns in May. She was nomithe local Labour Party and very serious consideration', that the paper decided, rs of the local of her re lasons like Cheadle and slow.

As you must be aware the workers are more than capable of making this change as is shown at the present time by their attitude to the trade union leadership who are trying to sell them out. There are people on strike who have never been on strike before, i.e. hospital workers, gas workers and civil servants.

These are all decent lawabiding citizens who along with many other sections of workers are being turned into criminals overnight by virtue of the Industrial Relations Act which has needless to say been implemented by the Tory government and many right-wing members of the Labour Party.

If my views which are very consistent and are for the workers of this country are termed as Tory-bashing, then I hope that it will not be too far dis. tant when there are more people with my views and together we can make an effort to erase these iniquities which are very prevalent in society today.

As I do not wish to have any part of this charade I have no alternative but to withdraw my nomination.
