For those not interested in football there was a game of cricket. full-length Following a feature film, National Secre- tary of the Young Socialists John Simmance spoke briefly on the most recent political events. * He pointed out that this rally held by was the first the Young Socialists under a Tory government. The response showed that even bigger rallies could be expected in the future with the growth • of working-class struggles under the Tories.

Encouraging everyone come to the Young Socialists' he explained summer camp, that it was vital in the theo- retical preparation of all YS members. The camp and the YS sum- mer programme were part of the preparation for the anti- Tory rally of youth, now to be in held Alexandra Palace early in 1971. S rally: The Becontree Bombers (top), and Erith I.

Workers feel there is a con- stant health hazard from abestiosis, a killer disease, but the management does not think this warrants extra pay.

The factory is part of the giant Turner and Newall com- bine which produces substan- tial profits every year. At a recent meeting with the stewards, the management claimed they could not pay more because of the 'eco- nomic crisis'. Commented one steward. 'We have an economic crisis every week when we take our pay packets home to our wives? National and local GMWU officials have refused to recog- nize the strike. Learned lesson But the workers have learned some of the lessons from the Pilkington strike and have sought aid independently.

They have travelled as far in as Widnés Lancashire, where Turner's have a bigger plant, to appeal for money.

Widnes stewards have prom- ised an overtime ban from July 15 and a levy on their members. More than this is requiréd.

The strikers' position is now very serious. They have been out Il weeks without a penny from the union leadership.

At the meeting there was interested very response from the audience to Regional Secretary Rick Crust's speech for the on the tasks ahead Young Socialists and the work- ing class following the elec- tion of the Tory government.

Many of the new members signed up and paid deposits for the YS summer camp. suggested that they send in to clean the some men machines during the present holiday period. This has been rejected with contempt.

Action must also come from other factories in the combine at Tamworth, Erith, Trafford Park, Manchéster, as well as Widnes. There is also a plant at Ballyclair in Eire. Branch secretary Jim Sheeran pointed out that the Irish cement workers' strike had Turner's, bécause threatened cement is a necessary in- gredient of asbestos.

The doctors reported that 12 home-helps went sick with dermatitis and eight were off work for a total of 45 weeks.

However, it should be noted that, whatever the combina- of factors, the leading tion manufacturers had already stated earlier in February that products were enzyme regarded as no more hazard- ous than other detergents!

Obviously there were others who thought otherwise and at of February the end Swedish national co-operative movement (known as KF), who hold 27 per cent of the deter- gent market in Sweden, decided that their own enzyme powder Tend should no longer contain the offending substance. The reasons given were familiar — dermatitis of the hands among consumers and lung disorders among workers manufacturing the product.

Dermatitis had occurred even when the temperature of the water was above that calculated to inactivate the enzyme — about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. A spokesman for Unilever said: Thursday July 16, 1970 ion out recruiting. it the Southern Region Rally.

'Since the introduction of relatively enzyme detergents, few complaints have been received'. However, Unilever's profits for the first nine months of the 1969-1970 financial year were down because the com- pany was 'caught on the hop with enzyme detergents and forced to hit back with a costly promotional campaign' ('The Guardian', February 25, 1970). After all this, we can, of course, still buy biological detergents in the shops and supermarkets. : Anyway, we might argue, if the stuff's so good, it might be worthwhile disregarding the possibilities of any ill effects. Report It might therefore be worth- while to see what 'Which', the consumer magazine, said about the two main enzyme powders in their report in September, 1969. Apart from costing 1ld a pound more than the cheapest ordinary detergents at that time, 'our tests showed that, in general, ordinary washing powders removed stains we looked at just as well as enzyme detergents ... Perhaps the most useful thing to emerge from our test is that, whatever detergent you use, the best way of get- song out dificult stains is to The only exception seems to be what are politely referred to as 'understains'! Truly, the almighty moves in mysterious ways.
