THE DAILY ORGAN OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTE

BY CLIFF SLAUGHTER

THE EXPLOSIONS at the home of Tory Employ- ment Secretary Robert Carr have given the capitalist press and television, as well as to the government, an opportunity which they have seized with both hands. They are doing their utmost to build up a picture associating the explosions with socialists and trade unionists who are fighting politically against the anti-union laws. Hoping to cover their own tracks, they create the atmos- phere of sinister threats to the 'democratic way of life' of Britain. There is, of course, no connection whatsoever between the planting of the bombs at Carr's house and the fight to mobilize the trade union movement to defeat the Tory Bill.

Tories The and their spokesmen are well aware of the rapidly growing opposition to the Bill, and the growing rejec- tion of the cowardly TUC leadership. All the propaganda suggesting that trade unionists who are fighting the Bill might be associated with the explosions is in order to I divert and confuse this growing movement.

The Industrial Relations Bill itself will give the state sweeping powers against working-class political organiz- ations and newspapers and the security checks now in progress are part of the same preparations.

The working-class movement in Britain will not be turned aside from the defence of its basic rights by crude provocations or unsubstantiated inventions in the press about conspiracies. The fight against the anti-union laws is a fight that has been going on out in the open ever since Barbara Castle introduced 'In Place of Strife', and it has gathered new strength in the last few weeks, as more and more workers understand the need to fight to make the Tory government The method of this fight is not bombs or acts of resign. individual protest and bravado, but the method of mobilizing organized trade union movement. This is what the whole the Tories fear. This is why, on the day the bombs exploded, there were present at the Aibert Hall protest meeting, called by the TUd.

Branch officers (according to the 'Evening Standard'). The crowing movement against the anti-union laws and.

to make the Tories to resign is a movement of the working class against the capitalist class and its government, not a campaign against the person of Carr. Everybody knows this is basic to Marxism and to socialist politics.

The great question to be decided in the working-class movement has two sides to it: how can the full strength of the organised labour movement be brought into action to bring down the Tories and how can we replace the present leadership of the working-class movement?

At the time of the December 8 one-day strike, many workers were responding to mere protest" politics of the Stalinist-led liaison Committee. Still the supporters of this Committee are insisting that the Tories can be forced to change their minds. Protest alone will not defeat the Bill. Thousands of workers understood this when they turned the anur12 stoppages and meetings into angry demonstrations against The call for a. General Strike to be the Tory government. organized by the TUC, which until a few weeks ago was demand of all class-conscious workers.

Barber's arrogant declaration that he will go on with the Bill whatever the opposition, and his insistence on peg.

ging wages while prices go up more than ever before, only show that the Tories are desperately afraid of the strength of the working class, and are hoping that the hesitation and betrayal of the union and Labour leaders will allow them to get the Bill through before this strength is manifested.

The tasks facing Marxists therefore, now very are. decisive ones. We have been proved right in denouncing the the TUC T politics of protest and in calling for a fight to make indispensable need to build an alternative leadership to the Labour and trade union bureaucracy and their Stalinist sup- Now we must turn every ounce of political energy Dorters. into the next stage of the fight.

The Alexandra Palace rally on February 14, to force the Tories to resign: this is the essential focus for all those who struggle, a siruggle to replace the This is anti-union a polltical want to defeat the Tories with a Labour government. Such a government would be brought to power by the strength of a mass movement demanding socialist policies. This, and not bomb attacks, is what the Tories fear.

What happened in Sheffield between December 8 and January 12 is typical of the depths of degeneration reached of all those by Stalinism and opportunism. who confine the fight against the industrial Relations Bill to a protest. Terry Devey, who accepted Batchelor's ex-convenor, a £3,000 pay-off, and George Caborn, AEF district secretary leading Communist Party negotiated this deal. both who December 8 meeting in Sheffield! Naturally on Committee's January 12 they were silent!

Thus the protesters-in-chief became the first men to with the terms of the accent a settlement in accordance Tory Bill! Their conduct, backed by the contemptible silence of the Communist Executive on Party the matter, is perfect accompaniment to the complete refusal of the TUC and Labour leaders to fight the Tories.

We can be absolutely confident that the working class will not be stopped by these more and now on the move. more open betrayals, any more than they will by the crude diversions around the bomb explosion.

Forward to the Alexandra Palace Rally on February 14, for a massive show of strength in the campaign to force the Tories to resign! The daily paper that leads the fight against the Tory government

perhaps going to save society from the evils of totalitarian technocracy.

REFORMISM

against Habermas is any strategy of revolution, (which is certainly more consistent with his arbitrary exclusion of the working class than the ideas of some 'student power' advocates).

He says: "The only way I see to bring about conscious structural change in a social system organized in an authoritarian welfare state is radical reformism. What Marx called critical - revolutionary must take this way activity today.' Here then is the full pro- gramme, such as it is. Leave the economic foundations of society untouched, because they have become the province of science and rationality. Because of this the working class can be satisfied. "The good life' fought for will then be among the academics. From such rarefied huights, Habermas hopes that this 'sensibility' will encounter 'problem the society cannot solve'. He thinks that the great abun- dance of goods produced by modern industry may 'make it ever more difficult to link status assignment in an even subjec- tively convincing manner to the mechanism for the evaluation of individual achievement'. In this way the students might 'permanently destroy this crumbl- ing achievement - ideology, and bring thus down already fragile legitimating basis of ad- capitalism, vanced which rests only on depoliticization'.

As for 'permanently destroying' and not just its ideo- capitalism, logy and 'legitimations', that does not arise.

ESCALATING

The stay-in resulted from the "welfare hotels' problem which.- has been festering for months.

After demolishing houses to for new flats the make way authorities have put homeless families "temporarily' in hotels.

The problem has grown to proportions bécause monstrous demolished slums have not been replaced with low-cost housing.

In four years the number of hotel families has risen to over 1,000 and is escalating at the rate of 10 per cent a month.

Hotels willing to accept wel- families fare tend to be the decaying haunts of drug addicts, prostitutes and petty criminals.

One woman at the Hamilton Hotel on Manhattan's West Side spent nights last summer on the underground trains for fear of the hotel at night. Sometimes addicts set premises on fire hoping to loot rooms when their occupants are driven out by the alarm. "Time' magazine described flat lived in by a woman with her eight children for two years: "The apartment is a horror.

The gas stove, which leaks, is kept burning all day because the central heating rarely works.

Hotel children's health suffers accordingly. City officials look the other when hotel owners pack way apartments and rake in profits by charging for the number of occupants and not for each room.

Owners will receive more than $7.5 million from the city this year. Important reading
