*35 One of the great dockers' march in 1889 organized by John Burns to fight for a minimum wage of sixpence an hour-the 'dockers tanner'. tered 65,000 members two years later. There was a simi- lar rapid spread of organization in the coalfields, where the Miners' Federation, formed in 1888 with a membership of only 36,000, was soon to pass the 200,000 mark. Under the stimulus of these developments unionism now expanded rapidly amongst farm labourers; Joseph Arch's union gaining members with new unions being formed, notably in the eastern counties. These developments were not without their impact upon the old craft unions. Their decline in membership was now sharply reversed, with a doubling or trebling of the pre-1889 figures being recorded in some cases.

ENGINEERING

The growth of imperialism was forcing the employers, particularly in engineering, to introduce new methods work and machinery before which the old sectional unions were largely powerless. The ASE had to recognize these changes, in 1892 revising its rules to admit virtually all of engineering grades mechanics. Not all the gains made in the 1889-1890 period were preserved of course. Under the impact of the employers' counter-offensive during the 1890s, losses of membership were sustained. Nonetheless, great and perma- nent changes had been effected, as Engels recognized. "The old unions preserve the traditions of the time when they were founded, 'and laak upon the wages system as a once-for-all established final fact, which they at best can modify in the interests of their members. "The unions new were founded at a time when the faith in the eternity of the wages system severely was shaken; their founders and promoters were Socialists either consciously or by feel- ing; the masses whose adhesion gave them strength were rough; neglected, looked down upon by the warking class aristo- but they had this cracy, immense advantage, that their minds were virgin soil, entirely free from inherited "respect- able" bourgeois prejudices which hampered the brains of the better situated "old" Unionists. 'And thus we see now these new Unions taking the lead in the work-class movement generally, and more and more taking in tow the rich and proud "old" Unions.' • In our next article we shall see how the struggle for the eight-hour day was to be the rallying point for the 'new unionism', a battle having con- siderable international signific- ance.

RUPTUS and the so- called safe period, those most psychologically and physically punishing means of contraception, are still the only birth control methods allowed to the faithful by the multitude of bleak clerics who run the Catholic Church. For many centuries, and over issues ranging from the movement of the planets to the origin of life, scientists have done battle with this reactionary monolith. In the past 200 years the issue has often centred on the right of people to decide for themselves how many children to have. Many liberals and reformers have been warmed and even given a pink glow by the heat generated in such battles Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell were two such people; friend Marie Stopes, their staunch fighter for married and birth control, was love another.

'the most harmful of which I've had experience' - an opinion based on literally no evidence.

This view was, however, en- shrined in a book 'Birth Con- trol', by Dr Halliday D. Suther- another Catholic, land, which he attempted to mask reactionary attack by alleging that Stopes was in fact doing unethical experiments on 'in- the poor whose natural stincts' against birth were control anyway! In the ensuing libel case (1923), which she lost finally in an appeal to the Lords, certain features of the two sides became very clear. • Sutherland, for example, attacked Stopes on the grounds that she was not medically qualified and that her doctor- ate in philosophy was from Munich and that German philosophy was associated with materialism ! Stability She explained, however, that her whole campaign, far from being anti-religious, was the direct result of personal divine guidance. The underlying purpose of her books and clinics, she the to further said, was stability of the family and thus the stability of the country upon which it depended.

Medvedev's crime was the writing of a book 'The Rise and Fall of T. D. Lysenko' and its subsequent publication in Cali- fornia, an event which proved beyond doubt — at least, any according to Stalinist logic-that he was suffering from a 'split personality. The case of Lysenko, who ruled supreme Soviet over genétics from 1948 until the late 1950s, is one of many historical Medvedev: DELEGATES from 89 coun- tries meeting recently in the Montreal headquarters of the International Civil Aviation organization have come up with some ingenious ideas for dealing with the wave of hi-jackings that has swept the international airways.

Such is the extent of these activities that the Intennational Transport Workers' Federation, representing 200,000 aviation workers around the world, have threatened to close down air- lines unless something is done.

One delightful suggestion, according to the 'Daily Mail, was a trapdoor immediately be hind the pilot's seat where hi- jackers are wont to stand. A flick of a lever and the hi-jacker would find himself going solo at 30,000 feet. Alathea Charlton as Marie Stopes pressed on with her campaign.

One travelling clinic was burnt by Catholics in Bradford, many were stoned. Once she wrote an exposé of Catholic birth- control methods and left it chained to the fount in West- minster Cathedral. She made films, she lectured, she organ- ized and hectored. : But other women doctors were taking up the cause and increasingly working - class themselves women were struggling for the meagre bene- fits available.

Unfortunately, these devices particularly discrimin- are not ating. They cannot distinguish between a pistol and the metal wiring which is often used in brassieres. It was slightly souped-up with a touch of the technique so belatedly fashionable in television circles, the drama- tized-documentary, but in a form so debased as to render it harmless. The writer, R. W. Reid (who is also head of science pro- grammes) did a tedious job and was careful not to tackle any of the real issues involved or to link it it with contemporary society. Under the guise of frank- ness about Marie Stopes' life, he masked all the major ques- tions of the period in which she lived and the real role she played.

(We should remember that tor many years R. W. Reid was the BBC-2 series editor of 'Horizon'. His anchor man was the Tory, now in charge of broadcasting in the govern- ment, Christopher Chataway.)

Medvedev's incarceration was therefore his reward for daring to write on history and also for spéaking out against restrictions on scientific exchange with the West. His mental condition was the subject of a heated debate be- tween officials of the Soviet Health Ministry and a group of Russian sciêntists.
