End all Phase Three talks now

THE TUC economic committee's talks with the Tory government is a serious to the government working class.

By discussing with the ruling class a possible "solution' to the problem of inflation through wage restraint and other measures, the TUC bureaucracy disarms workers in the struggle against the capitalist crisis.

Only by understanding that the world-wide economic chaos is an inevitable outcome of the capitalist system itself can the working class take the conscious steps towards ending the anarchy through socialist policies.

The TUC therefore creates confusion among workers when it when sits down drinks and a pleasant chat with the organizers and perpetrators of trade war, currency crises, and the economic anarchy which leads to closures and unemployment.

Although it was not possible for the bureaucracy to sign a voluntary wage-cutting agreement because of the militancy of the unions, the long drawn-out tripartite negotiations last year served their purpose in preventing the working class mobilizing a political campaign to force the Tories to resign.

How is it that the TUC bureaucracy can so deliberately mislead the working class?

The answer is that their reformist ideology means that they regard the 'mixed economy' and give-and-take compromise as a permanent system of things.

This means they regard the capitalist system as a permanent part of life.

Thus when the system is in difficulty, they see it as 'Britain's' economy being in difficulty. Their fundamental task becomes to protect the system.

This requires all good trade unionists to "be responsible' and make sacrifices. As the cost of living rises by 10 per cent a Y per cent increase.

It is now the most urgent task for the trade unions to assert their independence from the corrupt capitalist system and make a clean break with the men responsible for the economic crisis and chaos.

The working class must demand an end to all talks with the Tory government and insist instead on a campaign to force their removal from office. Heavy police guard on Belfast 10' case COMMITAL proceedings against the 'Belfast 10' opened in London yesterday under heavy police surveillance.

One of the six, allegedly members of an IRA network with plans to attack targets in Coventry, was also accused of possessing bomb-making materials.

They have already appeared in court five times accused of conspiring with others unknown to cause an explosion likely to endanger life or injure property.

Reporting restrictions were lifted and three of the accused lodged a strong protest at their conditions of detention at Winson Green Prison, Birmingham.

Defence solicitor Mr Michael Jervis said the six were all classified as Al security risks and they were in 'total, absolute, solitary confinement'.

The basic liberties any prisoner on remand was entitled to had been taken away and in the last seven days they had been given only five and a half hours' exercise.

The three, Rev Patrick Fell, Anthony Lynch and Francis Stagg, issued a statement welcoming their relatives' demonstrations of support for them outside the court but dissociating themselves from what they called 'hard-core elements' in the protests.

Defence solicitor Mr Christopher Aldridge said that his clients, Herbert Kelly and Anthony McCormick, also felt that the 'hullabuloo' outside the court did not help them.
