THE WAR DANGER in the Middle East is harshly underlined by the United States decision to pull out of the four-power deputy ambassador talks at the UN.

THE PROSPECT of the government drowning in sewage as a result of the local authority workers' strike is said to be caus- ing some anxiety in Tory circles. Heath has troops standing by for use if the sewage situation if certainly will worsens-as 1t the strike continues.

186A CLAPHAM HIGH ST, LONDON, SW4.

Name Address have placed increasing strain on the sewage services. Voracious demand for water industry combined with from population growth means a growing need for more pure water. Many prime sources of pure have been polluted by water industrialists for whom profit is the sole consideration. Rivers, like the Mersey, the Trent and Derwent which could usable provide water given proper management policies, are no better than open sewers.

But attempts to operate an overall water plan have always foundered objections from on capitalist industries whose influence is generally sufficient to prevent them. Rainfall As a result, despite plentiful rainfall in Britain, many water engineers are considering plans to purify seawater at vast expense rather than tackle these colossal problems. The sewage workers have to bear the brunt of all these prob- lems. Their jobs-in the confined underground which passages the made carry sewage-are dangerous by poisonous chemical petrol fumes and vapours, irritant liquids. With the added danger of sudden flooding, rat-bite fever, enteritis and exotic water-borne diseases and the constant dis- comfort of working in verminous and smelly underground tunnels it's not, as one sewage worker put it. last week 'everyone's cup of tea'.

BERNARD FRANKS F

During the last five years local authorities have had immense government backing in order to enable the launching of a system- atic attack on council jobs.

In 1965 a local government operational research unit made up of 30 scientists was set up with a Ministry of Housing grant to find ways of rationalizing all council operations. In 1967, the notorious Prices and Incomes Board report on local authority workers appeared, making clear the Labour govern- ment's intentions to introduce deals on every productivity council job. These would be used to in- stall work study, eliminate mates, prepare for Measured-Day Work and cut back the entire labour force nationally by 10 per cent.

Redundancies Since that time, this pro- gramme has been steadily imple- mented. The British Productivity Council, an organization set up to promote increased product- regularly makes use of ivity, examples from councils of hov utput has increased while the number of jobs has been cut.

The reports usually claim that the number workers reduced without redundancies occurring.

EXCLUSIVE WORKERS PRESS INTERVIEW

'Left' Labour MP Eric Heffer talks to Workers Thursday, October 8, 1970 Sanke. (eme SJ. I belleve you would like to begin the interview by say.

Ing a few words about the Workers Press article on Stan.

ley Orme MP which we pub- lished on September 29. EH. Yes, as far as I am con- the article gives cerned the impression that Stanley Orme is deceiving the working class.

I take great exception to this, because if there was ever an honest, courageous man who is careerist it is Stanley not a Orme. I know that this was meant to be a political accusation in the sense that you believe Stanley is politically deceiving the working class because he is a left and so on, and it would have been all right if this had been made clear. But I think it does give the impression that he is deceptive and I think this is totally wrong. I would like to say most emphatically that I take great exception to-this.

Indianin lans There has been talk at SJ. the TUC Congress and at con- ference of "line-by-line' opposi- tion to the Torles anti-trade union legislation. Would It be correct to assume that you are against national strike action taken by unionists and unions to defeat this legislation and also would you be against a political campaign involving Industrial action to force the Tories to resign on this issue?

EH. The way I look at it is this. I will certainly have to fight in the House of Com- mons, equally the workers will have to fight it as well.

If in the course of this fight they hold demonstrations that might well be regarded as strikes is something that the trade unions will have to decide for themselves. What I believe is that we should have one campaign in parliament and one outside it so that the two are compli- mentary. Now you ask me would I be against strike action. My answer to this is that I have shown where I stand in 1969 when the workers of Liverpool strike against In went on Place of Strife'. I spoke at their demonstra- tion and I marched with them.

If the workers again decide that this kind of action is appropriate, then it is their decision and I, as a working man, would declare my solid- arity with them. SJ. But do you consider this action appropriate. Mr Heath talks of a general strike If the workers decide to challenge him in this way would you back them? EH. Let's put it this way. If the organized working class decide themselves that the only alternative is to carry out a general strike if they see no alternative but to do this— then I will back such a move.

Firstly 'I don't think the trade union leaders as a whole will agree to action of this kind. Secondly I think that the Tory government will seek some last-minute com- promise rather than go the whole way. The British ruling class have always been great compro- misers before they take the last resort. But I can answer your first point. The miners are about to go on strike for better condi- tions and pay, the municipal workers strike and are on other sections of workers are involved or becoming involved in strike action.

We believe on Workers Press that workers are paying for wage increases by signing productivity deals Involving job evaluation, Measured-Day Work etc. Because of the resulting speed-up and labour cuts these deals directly contribute to the growth of unemploy.

Are ment. you against pro. ductivity deals in principle and, If so, are you prepared to fight for this position in the Parlia- mentary Labour Party? EH. Well if you look up my speeches in the House you will see that I am opposed to wage increases related to so-called increases in productivity. I remember when the nurses had their claim in I asked in the House that if the proposed higher productivity would mean that they would have to handle more corpses or bed- • pans—what in hell did produc- tivity mean here and how do you measure it. How, for example, do you measure the productivity of a busman—we have got to the of double- stage one-man decker busses and I think this is a very retrogressive move.

I am not in favour of all these for productivity, arguments productivity, productivity.

I believe what the workers should have a decent wage on the basis of a normal day's work. SJ. So you are against pro.

I hadn't in fact noticed that there was i resolution to But we have had this effect. one-day strikes on Merseyside before this issue on as method of drawing attention unemployment and I to high see nothing wrong with them.

I myself have been 'involved in one-day strikes where we marched in protest to the House of Commons. But what I would like to stress is that unemployment is this high only a continuation of policies pursued by the Labour gov- ernment. They talked in terms of get- distribution of ting a proper labour through the country- which meant, in effect, a gen- eral level of 2 per cent unem- ployment. But what happened was that unemployment went up to 2 per cent in areas that had none before and in the areas that has it rose to 4 or 5 per cent. Unemployment must be fought all along the line. But obviously the only permanent is to control answer the economy in a socialist way.

Pilkinglons SJ. A campaign have we taken up in the Workers Press is for the re-enstatement of the sacked Pilkington glassworkers at St Helens and Pontypool.

Do you support this campaign and are you prepared to bring It up in the Party and parlia ment. EH. If there are any workers from Pilkingtons in my con- stituency or connected with my union and are associated with the Pilkington workers and who are prepared to raise this matter with me-in order to give me some legitimacy- I would certainly raise the matter as strongly as possible.

I think that it is absolutely scandalous that this situation has been allowed to develop as it has. After all, the work- ers took the action they did because they were thoroughly dissatisfied with their existing trade union. This isn't a comment on the workers, it's a comment on the trade union and its failure to do its job for its members.

the pound starts we should act, and act promptly. Now what you are saying is that will the capitalist class and their supporters take all this lying down. Of course it is my view.that will not. Whether they will resort to other methods than democratic ones to defeat a democratically elected Labour government—of course I wouldn't like to say. I don't know. All I can say is that this is a possibility and at such stage we would have to take the necessary to ensure they that were defeated. SJ. What would those be? EH. Obviously if they resorted to arms it would be right democratically for a elected government to call on its supporters to defeat such a measure. It is as simple as that. What I am trying to say is that if by counter-revolution- ary means the capitalist class try to bring down a Labour attempting government to bring in socialism-this is an entirely different situation.

Of course, the Labour Party is not a revolutionary party.

I don't think there is in exist- ence in this country a revolu- tionary party. All I'm saying is that we should pursue militant a socialist policy, and if we were forced into a revolution- ary situation this is one thing we would have to meet. Worker: Press • SJ. Finally Mr Heffer what do you think of the Workers Press after one year of production?

EH. Well I must say its very well produced - though you can't expect me to agree with everything that goes in it.

But it seems to be getting better and better. Of course, its like every- thing else; its a matter of trial and error. You have to learn as you go through.
