So explosive an issue is this th the utmost secrecy. The TUC lea outburst of working-class anger this calculated treacherous attack on their standards of living.

Deceitfully Feather told a Press conference last week, in answer to a question from a Workers Press reporter, that there had been no invitation yet from the Prime Minister for new talks.

Now the 'Daily Mirror' has reported that Heath met the top TUC leaders twice in recent weeks. Present, the 'Mirror' claims, were Feather, Jack jones, Hugh Scanlon, Alf Allen, Sidney Greene and David Basnett.

So was Feather lying to Press conference and to working class?

The purpose of these talks, which will continue until the trade union movement orders an end to such treacherous dealings, is to make permanent the state control of wages, but under a so-called 'voluntary' system where the TUC leaders police their own members wage increases.

The essence of such a deal must be wage restraint. British capitalism cannot survive the controllable inflation unless • more difficulties of trade war and unandr mote valle more surpius value at the same time as class consumes less. wage-cutting.

Feather announced at that same Press conference his acceptance of Phase Two, thus admitting what the Workers Press had explained all along.

The subsequent steps we have warned of in this complete capitulation to the requirements of British capitalism will also be borne out, if the trade union movement allows it to happen.
