SECRETARY, SOCIALIST LABOUR LEAGUE,

186A CLAPHAM HIGH ST, LONDON, SW4.

Name Address should come out together now and defend their rights. The cost of living today is so high you just can't cope with it. It's got out of all proportion. And unemploy- ment is up over a million. It's Tory policy of course. They want 12 men looking for every job. Certainly we should have a 'Right-to-Work' march. They had marches like that in 1926 and I remember being carried down to Aber Kenfig on my father's shoulders when all were marching the valleys down. Unity The miner is at the end of his tether. This is the best opportunity he's had with all coalfields the united and everybody behind us. There's only one man who produces the wealth and that's the man on the job and he should have the money. In 1947, when they national- ized the mines and after all the promises, everyone thought it would be a good thing. To own the pits was the pinnacle of the miners' dreams. But what does it mean today? Nothing. I remember private enter- prise, crawling about on my knees. Nobody wants to go back to that. I read Sydney and Beatrice Webb once and if nationalization was run properly it would be a great thing. It's bound to work.

It's not nationalization to- day. It can't be proper nationalization without WOr- kers' control. They should nationalize all the industries, but do it properly from top to bottom and not just change the name and leave the same old people at the top. When they brought the new they machines in told us it would make life easier, but it's dirtier and more dangerous than ever and it's just put men out of a job. Volcano have The NUM should called a strike ten years ago instead of co-operating with them. I think this leadership will fight now. They know they're sitting on a volcano with a pistol to their heads.

Today you've either got to be for the men or the upper crust. You can't be both. It's one or the other. I'm not a communist. But I in believe a lot of the com- munist thought. I've read a lot.

I think things are going that way. We've tried the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. So now there's only one party left to try. I'd vote for a communist any day. If Labour were elected again tomorrow they wouldn't be able to cope. We've got to win this strike. Not having pay has made me more determined than ever. Things are bad enough now and think they'll get a whole lot worse.

They're going to cut down tax rebate in April, on our but I'd be a bit surprised if they touch social security. There'd be a revolution if they did that. Social security is the main difference between now and 1926. As long as the wife and children can have some- things we don't care a bout ourselves. Behind

Electronic eavesdropping

ELECTRONIC

EAVES-

DROPPING is on the increase in the United States. And widespread court-ordered bugging of telephones is being in almost every political used trial. A report published by the American Civil Liberties Union says national security surveillance involves listening in on a great many people over long periods of time. "However, virtually every pro- secution of someone whose poli- distasteful tics are to the government seems to turn up a national bug (micro- securty phone) or tap (telephone eaves- dropping).' report, prepared on the The basis of research by Herman Schwartz, Professor of Law at New York State University, states that in 1968, when no figures on wire-tapping federal were reported, state officials used 147 installations to listen to 4,312 people engaged in 66,716 conversations. By 1970, the Federal with government conducting its own bugging 25,652 operations, people were overheard in 381,865 conversations. There were 583 court-ordered eavesdropping installations after a judge had been convinced, in each case, that a crime had been or was about to be committed.

These figures were expected to rise in 1971, the report says, and adds that they are greatly under- *there stated for a vast amount of electronic surveillance which is not covered by the figures submitied.' An even more significant de- velopment, which the report blames for misleading figures, is the growing use of the one-party consent bug--when one person agrees to a hidden microphone so that a third party can be over- heard. No court order is then re- quired. In 1969, the total cost of eaves- dropping disclosed by govern.- agencies $680,650 ment was the (£283,000) with Federal government accounting for about $415,000 (E173,000). In 1970, according to Profes- sor Schwartz's report, this figure total of $3m rose to a (£1,250,000). A "breakthrough' in recent electronic listening devices makes it possible to bug or tap any home or office without entering.

The device can be placed any- where on the line leading to the telephone. It can then pick up conversation during phone calls and in the room, even when the phone is on the hook. Clyde Wallace, a manufacturer of the devices, recently an- nounced that two federal agen- cies were using the equipment.

He refused to name the two agencies, but there is little doubt that operations secret service against political militants are organized on a wide scale in almost every area. 1. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation came under criticism last year for his 'conservatism' in the use of modern techniques. A prize Turkey GUESS who's making friends the diabolical military with regime in Turkey. A 1,000 dinar prize (whatever that's worth these davs) to the lucky 'Yugo- gent who said slavia'. Orhan Eralp, secretary general of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, has recently visited Yugoslavia on an official invitation.

He was the guest of deputy Foreign Secretary Jaksa Petric and the two discussed men 'bilateral relations and current international questions with special reference to Europe and the Balkans' The consultations were agreed in September 1970 during the visit to Belgrade of the then Turkish premier. The fact that the Turkish has since army seized power and begun a religi- ous repression against commun- ists and trade unionists does not weigh very heavily with the Yugoslav Stalinists. According to the Belgrade agency Tanyug: At the news moment there is reason to be generally satished with relations between the two countries, but there is for extending scope cultural [sic] and economic co- operation. It notes that the final draft of being a consular convention is 'on legal assistance in prepared criminal cases and extradition. In words, other Yugoslav prepared to hand authorities are over 'offenders' (perhaps includ- ing political opponents of the Turkish generals) to the tender mercies of the regime's courts martial. Yugoslavia also hopes to boost its trade with Turkey from the present level of $18m a year. Eralp's visit is a clear expression of the growing ties between Stal- inism and the reactionary Turk- ish military regime. After visit- ing Belgrade, Eralp went on to Sofia in Bulgaria for more talks.

A report published by the Union American Civil Liberties says national security surveillance * involves listening in on a great many people over long periods ; of time. 'However, virtually every pro- * secution of someone whose poli- tics distasteful the are to government seems to turn up a national security bug (micro- phone) or tap (telephone eaves- dropping) The report, prepared on the by Herman basis of research Schwartz, Professor of Law at University, New York State states that in 1968, when no figures on federal wire-tapping were reported, state officials used 147 installations to listen to 4,312 people engaged in 66,716 conversations. By 1970, with the Federal government conducting its own bugging 25,652 operations, people were overheard in 381,865 conversations. There were 583 court-ordered eavesdropping installations after a judge had been convinced, in each case, that a crime had been or was about to be committed.

These figures were expected to and rise in 1971, the report says, adds that they are greatly under- 'there stated for vast is a amount of electronic surveillance is not which covered by the figures submitied.' An even more significant de- velopment, which the report blames for misleading figures, is the growing use of the one-party consent bug-when one person agrees to a hidden microphone so that a third party can be over- heard. No court order is then re- quired In 1969, the total cost of eaves- by dropping disclosed govern- $680,650 ment agencies was (£283,000) the Federal with government accounting for about $415,000 (£173,000). In 1970, according to Profes- sor Schwartz's report, this figure rose to total $3m (£1,250,000). 'breakthrough' in recent electronic listening devices makes it possible to bug or tap any home or office without entering.

The device can be placed any- where on the line leading to the telephone. It can then pick up conversation during phone calls the room, hook. and in even when the phone is on the Clyde Wallace, a manufacturer of the devices, recently an- nounced that two federal agen- cies were using the equipment.

He refused to name the two agencies, but there is little doubt that service secret operations against political militants are organized on a wide scale in almost every area. I.

Orhan Eralp, secretary general of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, has recently visited Yugoslavia on an official invitation.

He was the guest of deputy Secretary Foreign Jaksa Petric and the two men discussed *bilateral relations and current international questions with special reference to Europe and the Balkans' The consultations were agreed in September 1970 during the visit to Belgrade of the then Turkish premier. The fact that the Turkish army has since seized power and begun a religi- ous repression against commun- ists and trade unionists does not Dall weigh very heavily with the Yugoslav Stalinists. According to the Belgrade Tanyug: 'At the news agency moment there is reason to be generally satisfied with relations between the two countries, but for extending there is scope cultural [sic] and economic co- operation.' It notes that the final draft of is being a consular convention prepared 'on legal assistance in criminal cases and extradition'.

Yugoslavia also hopes to boost its trade with Turkey from the of $18m a year. present level Eralp's visit is a clear expression of the growing ties between Stal- inism and the reactionary Turk- ish military regime. After visit- ing Belgrade, Eralp went on to Sofia in Bulgaria for more talks.
