with impartiality, to hold the scales and weigh fairly the claims of employer and employed; Clapham said on July 3.
What this means is that sections of big employers fear that, if the government is too widely seen to be waging the class struggle on their behalf day to action of the Kitson stamp may its freedom of "impartial' become limited.
By co-operating in the impossible charade of an independent conciliation and arbitration service the union leaders help obscure the Tories' • preparation for such action.
There is also another aspect to TUC treachery on these issues.
Even the farthest right of the TUC Economic Committee were unable to argue on Wednesday for direct acceptance of the Heath proposal for a special joint working party on pay and industrial relations.
Given a firm lead by the left, therefore, the mass pressure which forced a partial snub to the Tories could have been used to defeat the proposal entirely.
Instead, Scanion, Jones and printworkers' leader Richard Briginshaw again chose not to press for a recalled TUC and the complete break-off of talks with Heath.
Those : demands, voiced Wednesday by a powerful lobby called by the All Trades Unions Alliance, have once again become absolutely vital.
EXCLUSIVE
ALEX MITCHELL JUDITH TODD, daughter of former Rhodesian premier Garfield Todd, said yesterday that Rhodesian authorities were 'glad to see me go'.
Since the Pearce Commission visited Rhodesia in January Miss Todd and her father have been imprisoned and later held under house detention by the Smith authorities.
She was told on Wednesday she was free to leave detention and depart from the rebel regime. She said: 'I don't know how long I will stay in Britain. It could be two years or it could be ten.' Miss Todd and her father campaigned against Sir Alec Douglas Home's proposals for a settlement with the Smith regime.
If she returns to Rhodesia She will be immediately classified as "a restricted person'.
She would also face a possible £1,200 fine or a year in jail if she did not abide by the conditions of her detention order.
Miss Todd said yesterday afternoon she was prepared to ignore the orders placed on her by the Smith government and campaign politically.
If I am invited to write politically about Rhodesia I will do so even if it risks making my father's position a little more delicate,' she told me.
