TRAL branch of the Post Office Engineering Union have backed the 30 Oc. tober conference against the in County Hall, London. The branch have also circulated all other POR branches in Britain with their resolution and a call for similar action.

A clause in the union COIISLILULIOHE branch the right to circulate other branches in this way.

Campaigners against the witch-hunt should ensure that the item comes up COTrespondence branch meetings and ask for the branch to contact all ConSHEECH to which they are aftinated to trv and obtam speakers on the witch-hunt the witch-hunt is won, to ensure that the CLP is informed of the branch's position.

We hope other trade unionists will be able to emulate this initiative, although not every union possesses such a clause.

We also suggest that stewards committees and trades take on the witchhunt and, if a commitment the witch-hunt is secured, circulate labour movement bodies which they are associated to inform them.
