THE NATIONAL Association of Schoolmasters yesterday announced plans for a new pay structure which amounts to a rise of 18} per cent in the existing wage bill.

ABOUT three hundred men laid off last night by the liquidator of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders are to be re-engaged on Monday by contractors on completing a cargo vessel, Clyde shop stewards said yesterday.

They include electricians, plumbers, caulk ers, welders, burners and platers.

"The men leaving tonight will be starting on Monday morning with sub-contractors who are working for the liquidator,' said a shop stewards' spokesman. THE YOUNG SOCIALISTS' Right-to-Work campaign in Yorkshire rounds off today with a demonstration through Sheffield.

Typical of the response received by the young marchers was that at the mining village of Goldthorpe, no far from Rotherham and the last stop on their journey (see picture p. 3.)

Miners greeted them at their welfare club and the miners' wives cooked a midday meal.

Tarnished gold THE £4,000 golden handshake agreed by the Jones-Aldington Committee has already lured nearly three times the number of men out of the industry than there are on the Temporary Unattached Register. 4,700 men had applied for voluntary severance at the end of this week compared with only 1,650 on the register.

Jones-Aldington claimed that when the TUR was abolished, the men on it would be reallocated to port employers as extra labour avoiding any contraction of the docks industry.

In London and Hull the dock labour surplus has been more than cleared. London has 1,300 men on the TUR, but 1,700 have applied for severence.

And at ports where there was no UR problem, such as Bristol, Immingham, Middlesbrough and Southampton, the rush to accept the golden handshake has led to actual labour shortages.

The haste with which the Tanaka government has moved has taken western diplomats by surprise. Despite President Nixon's visit, the US still does not have formal diplomatic relations with China.

The Japanese have not only agreed to immediate steps for the exchange of ambassadors; in return China has promised negotiations aimed at the conclusion of agreements on trade, navigation, aviation, fishery and other questions.

With the speed at which both sides are moving, such agreements could be sealed and signed before either the Americans or the Russians wake up to what is going on.

See today's ese trade and economic infit on the Chinese mainland ir future. For that Tokyo is pared to jettison the Chiang shek regime on Taiwan and haps lose some trade in immediate future.

Japan is driven by economic necessity: the need for markets. The latest trade figures, which show a cut in the balance-ofpayments surplus, underlines this.

Peking obviously expects that the Taiwan government will not long survive the loss of Japanese support and that after a year or two they will be able to reoccupy the island.

Peking is prepared to overlook Japanese depredations in the past, which it now blames onto a handful of militarists'. In fact, it accepts 'peaceful co-existence' with the Japanese monopolies, the most aggressive, expansionist and ambitious in the world.
