LETTERS HOW LABGUR CAN HELP THE BUSMEN

WHAT is the executive of the Transport and General Workers’ Union doing to see that the workers are properly prepared for the bus strike? There are two obvious ways in which the movement can prepare.

First among the busmen themselves, by mass mectings at the garages, where the strike can. be discussed and plans laid to see that it is a hundred per -cent. effective.

Second by calling on the other transport workers in London ‘for solidarity action. The London district of the National Union of Railwaymen has already said it will strike in support of the busmen.

But what about the men who drive the oil tankers and the dockers? Many of these workers are members of the TGWU. If they stop work, the Eondon Transport Executive’s threat tc the busmen that there is: plenty of transport without them, will be shown to be worthless.

‘There is something we can do in the local. Labour Parties, too. We can give our support by financial help and by offering the use of Labour Party rooms and equipment to the strike committees. We can offer our help in the distribution of propaganda in the localities.

A-LANDMARK The spirit of the Aldermaston marchers in the face of the most appalling weather has filled all who would have liked to join in. but were for various reasons unable to do so, with intense pride and a determination that next time we'll all be there. :

In spite of ruling-class sneers, in spite of the way the BBC played down the march, the example of all who took part will rank as a landmark in the history of the crusade for sanity.

There are different views within the anti-H-bomb.movement. But all are united ‘around this common banner—an énd to the fear of nuclear -destruction and radio-active fall-out.
