THE VIOLENCE

the disgraceful behaviour yesterday of men who • called themselves trade unionists ... if ever a union leader has fought for dockers' jobs it is Jack Jones in the present dispute.' Using the most lurid language he could throttle out of his typewriter Goodman described how his beloved Jack Jones was shoved and manhandled by the lobbyists.

This is the same Goodman who the previous day, Wednesday, told his readers in another front-page story: 'Furious women stone pickets' Not a note of criticism in Wednesday's paper of the attacks on pickets by the brutal force INPAK Its inside story was headed: 'The ordeal of Jack Jones. Men he fought for scream: Crucify him'.

The article made no attempt to deal with why the dockers were so enraged; not a single docker was interviewed.

There were also the astonishing claims about a certain ashtray which figured in all the press reports.

Some papers said that it was thrown at Jones, but hit Alex Kitson, at the conclusion of the docks delegates' meeting. But two other papers-the 'Birmingham Post' and the 'Western Mail' - were equally certain that this had occurred when dockers arrived at the press conference.

Both carried identical paragraphs which stated: Later angry rank and filers burst into a press conference he was holding, turned the pressmen out, and forced Mr Jones to talk to Lord Mayor's firm for THE government has instructed the Monopolies Commission to investigate the contraceptive industry.

This comes almost seven months after the London Rubber Co. had been attacked in parliament by Labour MP NOW OPEN Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs Fri 9 a.m.-7.30 p.m.

-Te these dachers ode look gart in the • .. cate this: Tos will destroy peo them. An ashtray and a glass of water were thrown at him.' Stephen Johns, who was present at the conference, says this is completely untrue. He saw the water hurled at Jones but nobody threw an ashtray at anybody else.

During the coming weeks dockers can expect the Tory press to accelerate its lies and distortions.

It happened during the power workers' strike and it happened earlier this year in the miners' monopoly probe Abse declared: 'This monopolistic company, which manufactures 95 per cent of the rubber sheaths used in Britain, has long history of social irresponsibility.

'It has protected its inordinate profits in the past and present by the most ruthless methods. To ensure no competition would emerge it has taken over or crushed almost all who have entered this field.' In addition to this LRC controls 90 per cent of retail distribution.

The chairman of LRC International, which prices its products up to six times those of United States and whose is Sir Edward Howard, Lord Mayor of London.

According to the current report from the Select Committee on Science and Technology, LRC's principal British subsidiaries are :

Autonumis Ltd; LR Industries Ltd; L R Wines Ltd; Andre Simons Wines Ltd; Churchill and Williams Ltd; Geo.

Journalists on the capitalist press must join with other sections of print workers in repudiating the propaganda which their masters now want to churn out.

The smears can be stopped if journalists and print workers show complete solidarity with the dockers' struggle.

This solidarity was magnificently demonstrated when the five London dockers were jailed NATSOPA chapels led a move to shut down Fleet Street until the men were released.

The Medical Supply Association Ltd.

In addition LRC International controls subsidiary companies in Sweden, West Germany, India, Austria, Holland, Italy, the United States, and Canada.
