Unity ning; it cannot be a substitute for the all-out fight for unity to defeat the government, but is a step towards that.

Press ahead Should the Tory government press ahead with the anti-union laws after the one-day strike, the preparations for indefinite General Strike must be put into action immediately.

To hesitate after one united action would be fatal. The anti-union laws are the first moves of the ruling class towards dictatorship and destruction of all democratic We must act in every section of the trade union and labour movement to force the TUC and the Labour Party leaders to mobilize the mass movement of the workers in action against the Tory laws.

When the employers hit back at the militants with victimizations, this unity will give them their answer and prévent the isolation of the militants.

Solidarity

Support every strike against the Tories!

Solidarity with the council workers and the miners!

Force the TUC and the Labour leaders to fight the Tories!

Unite the entire workers' movement in action to defeat the anti-union laws and force the Conservatives to resign!

We therefore call upon every Workers Press reader and every trade unionist, to start today, in every trade union branch, in every working-class organization, in every factory, pit and building site, to work might and main for the achievement of this unity of the whole working-class movement, with the aim of defeating the Tory government and its anti-union laws.

'We have seen in the past few years,' he said, 'the growth of a cult of political violence, preached and practised not so much between states as within them. It is a somber thought, but it may be that in the 1970s civil war, not war between nations, will be the main danger we will face.

'We are ourselves experiencing this in the United Kingdom,' he added, referring to N Ireland.

Letter No game LAWRENCE DALY, writing in the October issue of "The Miner', talked about the miners making a historic decision. But far from preparing the miners for struggle, Daly actually disarmed them.

Do we still live in a society where only profit and not want is the criterion? Are there still two decisive classes - the working class and the ruling class? If Daly answers to these questions, how is it he doesn't take a class line against the Tories?

He points out that Heath Is prepared to risk a genera. strike, but he avoids the crunch. 'I have challenged both Carr and Heath to come into the pits, see the men on the job-and then tell them if they would work in those conditions for the wages the Coal Board is now offering' No Mr Daly, the miners Y 14, 1971. 11 a.m.

Young Saclallats and All Trades Unloas Alliance GREAT NATIONAL RALLY AGAINST TORYISM DATE don't need you to tell them that these professional Tory politicians' only knowledge of coal is that it's black stuff their servants put in centralheating boilers. That is paternal rubbish. We don't need to be told that the Tories don't know about conditions in the pits.

What we want to know is how is it that 23 years after nationalization those people are still in control?

What is the union going to do about getting control of the mines so that the workers aren't dogged by insecurity, poor wages and unemployment?

Daly refers to the Coal Board threat of pit closures and loss of jobs through price increases if our wage demand was conceded: 'There need be no more price increase - if the government were to agree to the financial reconstruction of the industry that we have requested. If it would relieve the Board of heavy annual interest charges which last year amounted to no less than £37 million. If it would return some of the more than £1,000 million of which the industry was robbed in the first decade of nationalization when Britain's coal prices were held below world market prices in order to help other sections of the economy. If it would give the industry investment grants and regional employment premiums on the same basis as private industry.

'These and other measures could and should be taken.' (My emphasis.)

All these ifs, Mr Daly!

Even if they had been carried out by the Labour government it would not have solved the long-term problems of the miners because they don't get to the root.

Who controls the mines, the working class or the employing class? They are in fact reformist demands in a period when the ruling class can no longer give reforms, owing to the deep world economic crisis.

It's plain that Daly hasn't learned the main lesson of history: that only transitional demands suffice in a prerevolutionary period and that a reformist leadership-that
