INCORPORATING THE NEWSLET
Nhat we think: Pilkington's and the docks IF THE Merseyside dockers returned to work yesterday morning, it was not because they lacked the will to fight in solidarity with the sacked Pilkington workers, -but be- cause of the deliberate con- fusion generated by the union officials and a section of the shop stewards. The dockers struck work on Tuesday in support of four checkers who were discip- lined for refusing to load a cargo of Pilkington Fibre- glass. They decided last week to "black' Pilkington products in of the 670 support workers sacked at the com- , Plant pany's St Helens eleven days ago for having taken part in a three-day unofficial strike. Most of the sacked men are members of the breakaway Glass and General Workers' Union formed by Pilkington militants after the seven- week strike earlier this year. The port stewards met on Tuesday evening and voted 37-16 recommend to a return to work. The chairman of yesterday's 400-strong Birkenhead dock gate meeting said that the course of the stewards' discussions Transport Union district secretary Lew Lloyd had been in touch with a Pilkington director who allegedly told him 500 men Pilkington's had been at reinstated and that the uther 100 could get their jobs back with full rights.
Stewards were in such a lvir to avoid a fight against the Pilkington victimizations that they appeared prepared to go back on the say-so of a Pilkington director! Glassworkers' leaders in St Helens say that a leading port steward later phoned their St Helens headquarters to check this story. On being told the real posi- tion: that only 270 of the 670 sacked men have been re-employed (not reinstated) and that 400 are still sacked, he is alleged to have said 'OK, that's good enough for me'. One docker at Birkenhead demanded the right to put a resolution declaring that the information given by the stewards was not true as far as the St Helens workers were concerned and point- ing out that 27 men at Pilkington's Pontypool plant - all of them mem- bers of the General and Municipal Workers' Union - were still sacked two months after the strike. The resolution - which was defeated partly because many men at the meeting did not hear it read out concluded with the demand that: 'We don't accept the word of of Pilkington's a director but stay out on strike, call a Pier Head mass meeting to- morrow and have one of the Pilkington committee address it.' Pilkington's management yes- terday specifically denied that any of the strikers had been reinstated. Those who have been taken back into the factory have lost all pension rights, seniority and redundancy rights and have to join the General and Municipal Workers' Union as a con- dition of re-employment. The same unprincipled con- fusion which reigns among Liverpool stewards

Gus loneybun Weather. Westward diary. Thursday, August 20, 1970 HOW DOES your dis- putes procedure work? THE WORKER first raises the matter with his foreman, and, if it is not resolved, he again raises it with his foreman along with his shop steward. The next stage is the super- intendent, and the final stage- at which the steward and the member will be involved-is the personnel manager. After this it can be taken up • by the joint works committee and on the NJNC, which must discuss the matter within two months of its being raised; or it can be dealt with by the officials. WHAT IS the situation regarding shift-work, and are you compelled to work them? THE CLAUSE in the agreement speaks for itself! It shall be a condition of employment that all hourly-paid operative employees shall work all reasonable overtime, abnor- shifts, night-work mal working, and public holidays as requested.
(The term 'hourly paid' means all manual workers in Ford terms.- Ed.) Where a worker is on a three- shift system, he may not leave his job at the end of the shift nt is . until his opposite number arrives to take over-even if this means working more than the normal hours. WHAT DO you think about the Tory plans to bring laws against the unions? THIS LEGISLATION would be disastrous for us. Just take one of their proposals - to make agreements legally binding.
You have seen the Ford 'blue book'; imagine that as a legal document. Our only hope under the present 'blue book' is to stop the company implementing its worst aspects by militant action, which would be impossible once it became law. We shall oppose legislation!

No doubt the thoughts of both the detergent manufacturers and oil moguls could well be summed up by a recent cartoon in one of the natlonal dailies, in which businessman enthuses one to another: 'I had a lovely holiday.
The beaches were covered in * Res oil.' in different menti This "comment, forms, could of course be repeated millions of times.
The 'war against pollution' is therefore not quite the straight- forward problem that is usually presented. Often, the picture is painted of man somehow drowning in the products of his own affluence some inevitable disease of this technological age. Rather, it is the inevitable outcome of an unplanned and commodity diseased of system production on a massive inter- national scale in which the pri- vate ownership of the means of production dominates. The cash which has started to trickle through the anti-pollution channels will find its way to the giant monpolies; there is no way that order can be brought out of the present chaos through reformist anti-pollution pro- grammes. Nevertheless, in waging 'war against pollution', the possibilities for rational planning keep pushing their way to the surface. Roads States, In the United researcher at the Texas Trans- portation Institute has been disposable and using wastes litter for resurfacing roads.
By mixing ground glass from windscreens and bottles, car discarded plastic containers and old rubber tyres with asphalt or concrete Dr Douglas Bynum has produced a superior road sur- face. It that the rubber seems the asphalt's strength increases and cohesiveness, the crushed glass also adds strength to the roadway heat and prevents and plastic waste expansion products-ground to a powder -improve the pliable charac- teristics of asphaltic concrete.
According to Dr Bynum, the amount of glass, rubber and plas- discarded each year in the US alone would be sufficient to pave tens of thousands of miles of roads. well believe it, for We can today there is hardly any item which can be bought-particu- larly if it is portable-that is not enshrouded in gaudy some throwaway wrapper. The burning of this moun- tain of refuse does not normally solve the problem because of air pollution. However, one incineration plant operated by the US Navy produces little smoke pollution and is able to produce 50,000 pounds of steam 140 tons an hour by consuming of refuse a day. Probably the best solution, which awaits the necessary tech- nological advance, is to reduce waste back to its constituent ele- ments-iron, copper, aluminium - by controlled thermo- etc. nuclear means. In other words, to use the extremely high tem- peratures from future plants of
WORKERS PRESS
WITH the Brandt govern- ment's increasing attacks on conditions of wages and German youth - both young workers and students - mili- tancy and a turn towards political action is on the increase. The deepening economic crisis of European capitalism has its repercussions in Germany and is most sharply reflected in its effects on the youth. The student protest move- ments of 1967, 1968 and 1969 were only forerunners of much bigger class battles which are now on the agenda. In this situation the Trotskyist youth organization Junge Garde was born - out of a struggle to turn to the workers and away from the futile radical protest and police confrontation.
Junge Garde is a relatively new organization. It developed youth out of the movement in Germany in May-June 1968 against the emergency laws enforced by the government at that time. It was through an intervention this nature to vapourize matter.
So, having spent millions of pounds and dollars in replacing re-usable containers, further large sums are being used to get rid of them. Research teams in the United States and Sweden are experi- menting with containers that, when discarded, will disintegrate in sunlight and turn into a sort of fertilizer. Other lines of research involve bottles that melt away after being broken, the conversion of organic waste such as stale food into fuel gas for and paper cooking, etc. and-best of all- the development of edible an protective coating for food that need for pack- eliminates the aging altogether. This type of pollution is not one that is particularly worrying at present to the majority of the world's population. While no one is safe from radiation damage or contamina- tion from DDT (the latter has A Biafran boy wandering In search of food been found in Arctic polar bears), it is estimated that 10,000 people malnutri- die every day from tion and its consequences.
To them food packaging is a non-problem. This devastation continues while food is destroyed in the United States and W Europe to keep up market prices. The argument that 'in any case, there is a world food shortage' doesn't hold water. Food science and by leaps has proceeded bounds over the last decade, as was revealed at the third inter- national congress of food scient- and technologists held in ists Washington last week. Leading scientists derided the myth of the so-called world pro- tein shortage. As one leading nutritionist stated: 'The problem is not a scarcity of protein but rather the wide- spread prevalence of poverty, or the inability of very low-income

in this struggle, and later in 1969 against the trade union bureau- that the basis for Junge cracy, Garde was formed - from amongst young workers who sup- ported Junge Garde's perspective of a national strike against the enforce employers' attempts to legislation on apprenticeships.
In a recent interview Junge Garde members described the events now taking place in Ger- will which have many an important bearing on the build- ing of their movement. Attacks Ulli works in a heavy engineer- ing factory. He explained: 'Attacks are being made on the youth in all aspects of their life, especially education and living conditions. 'Universities are severely restricting the number of new entrants. They have plans to close down the universities for two years and many technical colleges are already closed. •Working-class youth are not trained properly.

'A 1,000-pound steer can make a pound of useful protein in one day's growth, but 1,000 pounds of yeast can make 4,000 pounds of protein in the same time,' reported a French scientist.
Protein deficiency in children can lead to permanent physical and mental damage. One protein food - called superamine-was provided free in five Algerian villages for a year and cut the infant mortality by half.

As we have already com- mented elsewhere at greater imperialist profit and length, prestige were at the very heart of those exertions. The provision of the basic essentials of life, as with the 'war' -at certain periods and for cer- humanity tain sections of against pollution, remains at the level of 'spin-off' from the main imperialist preoccupation: extracting surplus value by every possible means and at the high- est possible rate.
