TUC CONGRESS — SEPTEMBEI

IT IS axiomatic in the British labour movement that when the right-wing plans a retreat and a com- promise it summons the 'left' to lay down the behind smokescreen which to carry out its political deals. During the six years of Labour government, Wilson, Jenkins and Castle were able to survive and maintain their hold over the Labour Party leadership and policy and prepare the attacks against the unions only because the political docility of the 'left' MPs allowed them to do so.

Every time the 'lefts' were urged to fight on principled issues like the Prices and In- comes Bill they evaded them by claiming that a successful struggle against Wilson would only restore the Tories to power. Pave Way In this manner tected Wilson's rear and tim- pro- ately helped to pave the way for the return of the most reactionary post-war Tory gor- ernment. power and focus struggle has shifted the trade unions and the industrial the "lefts' struggles, have found a new vocation. Their tactics, however, remain the same. Instead of defending Wilson, they are now busy face-lifting Trades Union the Congress leaders and, together with the Stalinists, indulging in a lot of 'left' demagogy on wages and industrial democracy and providing the necessary smoke behind which new rereats are being planned. The most consummate prac- titioner of this Stan art is Orme MP for Salford West, who, in 1969, helped to cover up the retreat of "left' union leaders on the TUC plan to police the unions and consist- tenly protected Wilson from the criticisms of the Trot- skyists. Orme is well aware of the with which many scepticism trade unionists treat the TUC leaders as a of the result experiences at Pilkington's, the docks, GKN, Rolls-Royce and the mines. Avoid Confrontation Far from fighting the poli- cies of the Tories, the trade leaders have-and are union —trying desperately to accom- modate the the unions to Tories and, as the dock strike conclusively, they showed are more than eager to avoid an eyeball-to-eyeball confronta- will, the final 1n analysis, tion with the union-bashers in Nothing could be acquiesce. the government. further from the truth.

philosophy its Its and method is succinctly summed up in the words of the late Ernest Bevin who said that if he had to repeat 'Black Friday' 1921, over again, he would do it. And it is fair to say that, as the crisis of British imper- ialism worsens, the TUC, far from becoming more militant or class-conscious, in fact dis- all the anti-socialist plays features of its senile degener- ation in the most insidious way. Throughout the six years of Labour government, the TUC worked consistently towards a rotten compromise as Wilson, Brown and Castle unrolled their plans for anti-strike laws.

The compromise, finally sealed with the trade union executives conference in June 1969, allowed the government to operate a continuous wage restraint policy in one form another, and the union or chiefs' retreat laid the basis Tory plans for for present more stringent attacks even on the unions. Direct Backing This TUC policy has gone hand-in-hand with encourag- ing productivity deals and speed-up measures throughout industry, many of which have been pushed through against mounting opposition only with the TUC's direct backing.

And since the Tories came to office, the leaders of the trade union bureaucracy have proved unable to defend even

the most basic workers' rights under attack by the employers.

Anyone familiar with the St Helens factories since the events at Lord Pilkington's seven-week strike there earlier this year will know that this is the case. TUC general secretary

VICTOR FEATHER

The strike was only ended after TUC secretary Feather guaranteed personally there would be no victimiza- tion. But when some of the St Helens men came out on a three-day token strike only two months later, Lord Pilk- ington was able to sack 600 with impunity. To this day, the TUC has done nothing to honour its pledges to the Pilk- ington men. What the union chiefs really think about this situation is best illustrated by the fact that at this year's TUC they Lord Cooper, leader General and Municipal Wor- kers' Union, whose role in the Pilkington strike aroused work- ing-class anger all over the country. This is how the TUC 'de- fends' the right to strike and 'honours' its agreements with workers. How can Orme have the effrontery to claim that these Tory leaders will fight the government when he knows hey are retreating not onl efore Lord Pilkington, bur before every other employer ir Britain? There is nothing inconsistent or surprising in the TUC's at- titude on these questions.

Drifted Right Ever since it engineered the defeat of the 1926 General owards the right and into th mbrace of the capitalist state What are the Feather-Carr talks ' and the TUC's tacit acquiescence before the Tory offensive in the factories but a modern version of the Mond- Turner talks of 1928—under conditions many times more dangerous for the working class? The present trade union are the products of leaders almost a century of class- compromise, cemented by the betrayals of seven Labour gov- ernments, war-time collabora- tion in strike-breaking and the defeat and • unemployment of the 1930s. The TUC leadership reflects the defeated past of the work- ing class. That is why it is coming more and more openly into conflict with a strong and confident working class which is determined not to go down in betrayal and defeat again.

all reformists, But like Orme views the class struggle through the distorting mirror of the bureaucracy. It is not the abysmal class-collaboration of the leaders which is to blame, but the workers them- selves. • . the workers, at the bloody- present time, are not minded enough, for many who are fighting for better wages and conditions do not see this fight as the same side of the coin as political action.

'Some of the rank and file on the shop floor do not see the connection between in- dustrial and political action.

This is the job for the Labour Party: it should be explaining to the workers about who owns industry, how it is controlled and what needs to be done to civilized solution achieve a to a capitalist rat-race in which everybody is involved.' Orme is nothing if not brazen. He sat six years in the par- liamentary chamber while this same Labour Party explained

'LEFT' MP STAN

and over again that over workers must accept wage freezing, anti-union laws and unemployment at the dictates of big business. That was Wilson's 'civilized solution' to the 'capitalist rat- race'. Wilson at at the TUC Congress If that was the Labour Party's policy in government, what grounds does Orme have for thinking it will change in opposition? And this is how Orme 'criti- cizes' Wilson's government policies: "The Labour conference must extend the TUC decisions and give them a real socialist political interpretation.

For instance, it must not equivo- cate as it has done over the past three (?) years on full

employment and a policy for growth and industrial expan- sion.' This is the authentic lan- guage of opportunism: 600,000 unemployed are reduced to an 'equivocation' and Orme re- iterates the well-worn formula of industrial growth and ex- pansion. Since Orme makes no call for the labour movement to force the Tories to resign, he presumably hoping that Heath and Carr will put this policy into effect. Orme waxes tearful about the Labour government's record. 'We set out to attempt to run the mixed economy better than the Tories had. I think the last six years have shown how futile it is to try to per- suade the private sector, whether in relation to planning or policy or prices. In fact, at the end of the day, we settled for a policy appealing to the private sector and legislation the applying to trade union movement. This policy must be reversed.'

Completely Bankrupt In other words, 'our' policy was completely bankrupt and "we' ended up attacking the working class on behalf of the employers! An open admission of politi- cal bankruptcy. But Orme is far from want- ing to draw the logical con- clusions. Instead he wants the mixture as before, but refur- bished to look like something "socialist'. Tuesday, September 29, 1970 "The fight inside parliament,' he says, 'must be as real as the one which takes place on the shop floor and, in this regard we cannot be hampered by past policies and the past actions of ministers.' It is no use Orme complain- about ministers' •past actions' and trying to extri- cate himself that way. Refused Point-blank When the Young Socialists and the Socialist Labour League called on the 'left' MPs to fight Wilson during the period of the Labour govern- ment, Orme was prominent among the 'lefts' who refused point-blank to demand Wil- son's resignation. And even now, he peddles substantially the same line.

"The message to Harold Wilson from the Labour Party conference must be clear and concise: we want no sham parliamentary battle. The people who lead this fight must believe in the policies which the labour movement will adopt.' There could be no clearer message to workers fighting the Tories about the position Orme intends to adopt. Now that Wilson's policies have opened the door to Tory- ism in Britain, Orme and his 'left' parliamentary and trade union friends, backed by the Communist Party, will do their level best to ensure the future of reformism by this kind of bombast. Tory minister CARR These people are getting ready for another assault on the confidence of the working class. The old combination of 'left'- ism and the parliamentary and trade union treachery is once again being activated. Workers who want to fight the Tories and the employers for real socialist policies of nationalization and an end to Toryism must reject this poli- tical line and campaign inside the trade unions to build a alternative on revolutionary the basis of the policy pro- claimed in last Tuesday's Workers Press. That is the policy of the Socialist Labour League.

Setting Although it touches on the realities of the economic fishermen's lives, makes incest explicit and uses fairly realis- tic language, my impression was. that the Hebrides is pri- marily a convenient setting for the almost operatic qualities of the plot. The play is essentially about Jimmy Litherland, island- born of English parents, edu- cated in Liverpool and Oxford, who returns to the islands to bring socialism to 'where the people are'. He romanticises his old school-master, Aeny McPhee, who, he claims quite wrongly, knows the difference 'between Rosa Luxemburg and the Social Democrats'. McPhee is, in fact, a pathe- tic figure, face unable to reality, who degenerates to the level of an Irish whore with whom he takes up after his wife's death. He continues to propagate Keir Hardie-style illusions in social democracy ('Begin with the banks, Jimmy lad') while proudly boasting that he him- self has already descended to the level of the animals and is well on the way to achieving the state of consciousness a clod of earth.

stars JOHN THAW and JOHN CAIRNEY in rehearsal Litherland has meanwhile used McPhee as a stepping- stone to becoming Labour MP for the area, in the elections of 1964 and 1966, and, with the ajd of a Hampstead wife, becomes under-secretary at the Board of Trade. In the final scene, set in Litherland September 1970, seeks to recapture that first fine careless rapture when he returned to the 'island in the early, 1960s to organize a branch of the Transport and Workers' Union General among the fishermen. He threatens to lead the men down to occupy the boats which have by then been sold up to an American company operating from Peter- head. Indecision Indecision wins the day, however, and Litherland is still Tory on the phone to the President of the Board of Trade to 'protest', when the boats sail out of the harbour.

Though there is no solution fishermen, for Jimmy Litherland finds his way out.

He sends the Hampstead wife packing and takes up again with his only true love (he has had plenty of the other sort in the course of the play), Aeny McPhee's incestu- ous daughter, Catriona. Off they go to watch the guillemots circling over the cliff-which was what Catriona has suggested was the best plan at the outset of the whole business. •

'FELLINI SATYRICON'

is probably the most ex- pensive production so far by the Italian Frederico Fellini. He became famous with 'La Dolce Vita' ('The Sweet Life') which, among its other merits, to view the decadence, exposed spirtual corruption and private idiocy of the Italian aristocracy- cum-big bourgeoisie. *La Dolce Vita' gave rise to bitter complaints even from some of the most distinguished prelates of the Vatican hierarchy.

In a sense 'Satyricon' does the same think for an earlier gener- ation of rich Romans. Being dead, they are unable to complain. But here Fellini is not starting from scratch. 'Satyricon' is a 'free adaptation' of the fictional work of Petronius Arbiter, an official of the Roman Empire under Nero. It describes the escapades of two disreputable young men, Encolpius and Ascyltus, and their oy-slave Giton Petronius' Satyricon is not a 'novel' as we would now under- stand it-it has no overall plot or theme, and the characters do not develop in any way. THERE'S nothing like a drop of the hard stuff, it seems, to soothe away the cares and stresses of top management. A on the expense tot or two account is just part of the daily grind, as every worker can understand. However, to suggest that the consumption of alcohol in these rarified circles goes any further than the traditional dram necessary to cement friendly relations and oil the wheels of industry is going a little too far. Concern about the problem of alcoholism among the cap- tains of commerce has evoked an indignant statement from the Institute of Directors, say- ing that it 'does not believe that there is an alcohol prob- lem among directors'. Doctors who specialize in the subject are not so sure and are worried by the institute's THE NEW team at the Min- istry of Technology under ex- Director-General of the Con- federation of British Industry John Davies is very much in line with the Tory concept of a 'businessmen's government'.

It includes one lord and a trio of other ministers who have held a considerable num- ber of directorships between them over the years. Minister Lord Bessborough, of State (Aviation), joined the merchant banking firm of Robert Benson Lonsdale and Co. Ltd. in 1950 and was director of various companies, Associated Tele- including vision. David Price, MP for East- leigh and Parliamentary Secretary, has mainly concen- trated on management consult- ancy and has had close con- nections with Imperial Chemi- cals Industries since 1949. From 1966 until the last elec- tion he was director of Asso ciated Maltsters Ltd. Nicholas Ridley, MP for Tewkesbury, Cirencester and is now also a Parliamentary Sec at Mintech. He held directorships of civil engineer- ing contractors Brims & Co.

Ltd. and the larger Heenan Group Ltd.-Worcester engi- neers with over £1f million in capital. Last, but by no means least, comes Sir John Eden, Bart and MP for Bournemouth West. Sir John is the son-in-law of Sir John Pascoe, previously the chairman Aberdare Holdings Ltd., a holding com- for nine subsidiaries panies employing capital of around £15 million. Sir John (junior) was direc- tor of the parent company and three of the subsidiaries as as of well British limken Division of the Timken Roller Bearing Co. (of which his pa- in-law was chairman). He was also directing Ches- ham Amalgamations and In- vestments Ltd. and he is cur- rently president of the Inde- pendent Schools Association (having been director of Lady Eden's Schools Ltd., a private school for 200).

COMBINATION

Most of the episodes involve sex, violence, gluttony or avarice, and frequently combinations of these. Encolpius and Ascyltus have a fine sense of the ridiculous, and a sharp eye for the main chance - which they usually miss through some unfortunate acci dent. But they also feel the more serious meaning-or meaningless- ness - of the life they pass through. Throughout it all, though, they cheerful intelligent remain Bohemians, providing the reader with a clear window out on the world they live in. Fellini's film takes a series of Petronius' episodes and scenes and strings them together.

Visually, it resembles a lot of modern painting-startling, after the first impact, uninterest- The scenery, the high-colour positions; these are the inventiv ide of the film

ATTENTION

Since no scene is held too long, it keeps your attention, and sometimes makes you jump in your seat. But on the human side it is barren. The blurb claims for it 'the infinite passion for life', suggest- ing that Fellini has recreated the statement that of the 7,000 to 8,000 directors examined annually, no more than seven are revealed as alcoholics, less than 0.1 per cent. These figures may well be taken with a pinch of salt as, in most doctors' experience, alcoholics are usually the last people to come forward for a routine medical examination.

In fact, it is estimated that alcoholism is probably cost- ing industry a direct sum of £30 million a year, and prob- ably about £75 million indi- rectly. Not surprisingly, companies are not very free with infor- mation about the boozing habits of their executive master minds. One managing director, cured of his thirst, decided to carry out an investigation.

But the main characters never become really human-for a start always being they are over- whelmed by the scenery. And where we do get a close look at them, if they are not fighting, feasting or fornicating, they are in some pose as if they are trying to say: "Oh, what a deep and murky thing is lifel', but never quite knowing how to put it.

BAD DUBBING

The effect is made worse by the dubbing, which seems not to care whether the audience can grasp what they are saying.

is a shame, Which for the 'Satyricon' is full of robust, if smelly, characters. Fellini also brings into the film his fascination with cripples and freaks. The intention, I think, is to communicate another way what he finds the bitter and in- expressible meaning of life.

But the main effect is to add to the shock-value of the scenery.

'Satyricon' brings no hope and no sorrow, the and less only digestible pleasures of the flesh.

It is depressing to see.

'He personally wrote to 12 firms whose total number of employees amounted to 20,000, asking what policy they adopted towards an alcoholic employee. He promised that the replies would be regarded as strictly confidential.

'About one-third did not bother to reply. One firm took the greatest exception to the insulting suggestion that a firm of their repute would ever employ an alcoholic. 'Others replied they were happy to report that drunken- ness in their area was a thing of the past. The largest firm, employing 10,000 some three factories, employees in replied that, in the strictest contidence, they knew of one man, but he was overseas and overtired. So out of some 20,000 workers there was only one, and he was out of the country(!) Of course, top people know how to keep such things to themselves. Dr Williams reported the case of two company direc- tors, one senior and one junior, members of the same firm, who happened to con- sult him on the same. quite unaware of was their business relations. Later they were admitted to my clinic cn the same day. Imagine their surprise when they met, each having heard the other was "down with 'flu" and neither knew the other was an alcoholic. remember, too, how laughingly they recalled their successful joint effort to get a private cocktail bar installed at the office for the ostensible refreshment of their clientele.'

So now we know what's meant by the term 'drunk with power'! As the strains of industrial life reach breaking point, we may find many more managers being driven to drink. Cheers! under which the ABM system was given the go-ahead. It appears that a majority of the advisers for the ABM computer systems come from computer companies that have, or hope to get, ABM con- tracts. One of the members of the advisory group, Roy Nutt, is also vice-president and co- founder of Computer Sciences Corporation, which just hap- pens to be working on three

contracts worth $3.5 million. Mr Nutt is quoted by 'Com- puterworld' as saying: Let's we're talking tace it, No comment. However, the scientists are advisory worried that the group's 'patriotism' may be a little dangerous. The computers are by no means perfect and they have ultimate decision on whether to fire the ABMs or not. The warning time for nuclear attack is necessarily short and no reference can be made to either top brass or the White House. Failure Large computers especially have a relatively high failure rate and the scientists are 'extremely reluctant to place so much life-and-death power in the control of a complex and untested machine'. However, by its very nature, testing the system is out of the question. Nuclear testing in the atmosphere is banned and the defensive nature of the system means that it has to be sensitive to a far greater number of possible situations than one geared to attack, Moreover, there is little chance of any improvement in the system's reliability. Nuclear war is unlikely to be a common occurrence, thus giving time for ironing out gremlins! Just one small malfunction or a stray radar signal and the Pentagon could initiate the most expensive suicide yet devised. the impressive Despite qualifications displayed by the however, anti-ABM group, the US Defence Department commented: 'Our computers will work'. Unfortunately, that's the problem!
