THE MINERS'

STRIKE

JOHNS: If the miners vote to strike it will be the first national plt stoppage since 1926. They wil meet a Tory government pledged to resist wage Increases Ilke that of your unlon. In this situation the strike will clearly develop into a major political confrontation.

How do you intend to fight this political battle and are you, like Mr Heath, prepared to facę a general strike?

DALY:

Absolutely, without any qualification. The position is this, that I expect we will win the necessary two-thirds strike majority in the ballot and the miners will come out solidly for what is a moderate claim for a £20 minimum. With their declaration of official support we have already had indication from the Transport and General Workers' Union that they will support us if the government attempts to resist us in the course of the strike. We will be discussing to- [October 8] the morrow approaches we can make to ther unions to prevent the novement of coal by.transport workers, railwaymen, dockers and seamen. We want those unions to instruct their mem- bers not to move coal in the event of a strike. If this becomes the situa- be half-way tion, Heath will towards a general strike and I hope, as I said at the Labour Party conference, that in this situation the miners and their allies will receive the widest possible support from the entire trades union and labour movement. JOHNS: Yes, Hugh Scanlon, leader of the engineers, sald at the Labour Party conference that any union involved In a battle with the government would have the full support of the TUC and the member unions. If the Torles intervene in POL your strike with troops, for example, what kind of support will you ask the trade unlons for? Will this Include requests for sympathetic action? DALY: In the first place it would be quite impractical for the government to intervene with troops. They simply could not do the kind of jobs that miners, particularly the on power-loading machines, have to do. But if Heath used other measures against the miners to break the strike, there is no question that it would intensify the determination of the men and those in the trades union movement who are supporting them, to resist, and fight all the way to victory.

JOHNS: If a sltuation like this did emerge I take It therefore you would go to the TUC and ask for sympathetic strike action? DALY: Obviously we cannot make an official approach to the TUC until we know the result of the ballot. But if it is for the strike, as I hope, 1 would hope that our executive would agree to approach the TUC Congress for their fullest support. JOHNS: I don't want to labour this point, but would you ask directly for sympathetic strike action If the government did Intervene? DALY: We certainly would be asking for sympathetic action.

Verbal militancy is not enough.

It's action we want. JOHNS: You have already re- Jected arbitration with Lord Robens through an Indepen- dent panel. Does this mean you will keep out on strike until the demand is met in full?

WIll there be any danger of a retreat on the claim, like there was In the recent docks and GKN-Sankey disputes? DALY: There is certainly every indication on the coalfields that if the men come out they will stay out until the claim is met in full on the minimum wage demand. JOHNS: And you yourself are recommending this? I would like inform Fill in the form below and se

SECRETARY, SOCIALIST LA

186A CLAPHAM HIGH ST, LO

Name Address DALY: I am certainly com- mitted to this. I have said this all the way through in the negotiations and we are not in any way influenced by Robens' ofter to go. to arbitration.

First of all the annual con- terence, which is the governing body of the union, decided that if the minimum demand was not met in full we would proceed to take strike action and this we are doing by balloting the members. In any case it is my own view, and I expressed this to Robens, that in the present with a Tory govern- climate ment 'in power, arbitration would be a waste of time.

JOHNS: I read an interesting statement made by an old Scots miner who compared the situation now emerging in Britain to 1926. What do you think of this comparison?

DALY: This may well be, but I have said to my members, '1970 is not 1926', the miners in 1926 were fighting a defen- sive battle against a wage-cut and an increase in hours.

We have now at last got an eight-hour day for the surface workers and we have got 50 per cent of what we are asking for for the lower-paid men.

The miners this time are on the offensive and this time the miners are going to win. JOHNS: The councll workers are now meeting threats from the government that the miners will have to meet when, and if, they come out. Would you conslder linking the fight of the NUM-as a body which represents low- pald workers—with the fight of the manual council workers?

DALY: If we are to call on the other unions to support us, equally the unions organizing the local government workers will be entitled to ask us for our co-operation and I have no doubt that the miners will assist in every way possible.

POLISH STRIKE

BREAKING

JOHNS: Very much related to the strike Is the question of coal Imports. You may remem- ber that during the strike of the Spanish miners the Polish government exported coal and broke the strike. What do you think of this act by the Polish government? DALY: The National Executive Committee of the NUM sent a letter to the Polish govern- ment expressing their deep concern about the export of coal to Spain during the Asturian miners' strike. The Poles replied to us say- ing that they had a contract that dealt with qualities of coal that were not being produced by the Asturian miners and re- assuring us of their traditional solidarity with the struggle of the Spanish workers against Franco. But my own personal view is that the Polish government would not dare to even con- sider an invitation to export coal to Britain while the miners were on strike. If they did there would be no more contact between the Polish miners union and the British miners. JOHNS: And you would tell them this If It did occur?

DALY: Absolutely. JOHNS: Does this go for other countries as well? DALY: Equally.

PIT CLOSURES

JOHNS: Already the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Technology, Sir John Eden has stated that closures will be Increased if productivity in the mines does not rise. This threat will obviously be used In the course of the strike.

How will you counter this threat, and in the future will lobby on your national you executive to fight closures by national strike action? e information about below and send to NATIONAL

This was for a wise reason that this would have further four or five weeks to complete. This would have meant, the possibility of therefore, two months delay—in addition to the two weeks Yorkshire had been out-before a deci- sion could have been reached.

By that time the men had would have believe, suffered so much that many of them would have balloted against the strike. Rather than see them dis- sipate their strength in this way it was my view-which I did not, and never will, apolo- gize for-that it was better they return after making their demonstration. I have myself had to face situations I similar when worked underground at Glen- craig coal mine for 25 years.

You have to judge the time to come out. You have made your protest, you may not have got every- thing you want, but you have also to gauge the position of your members and know when it is time to go back as a united body, which is all important. The other thing was that I had discussions here with un- official leaders from Yorkshire.

Some of them honestly told me 'Lawrence, if you or some- one can't get us off the hook and get the men back, get some sound reason for getting There was this great danger hat if it had gone beyond the econd week it would hav egun to break up with the kind of consequences I men- tioned earlier.

PRODUCTIVITY

JOHNS: Productivity In the mines has Increased from 33.4 cwt per man shift in 1963- 1964 to 43.4 cwt in 1970. At the same time pit closures totalled 177. We belleve that productivity deals which intro duce speed-up and labour cuts In the gulse of Measured-Day Work, Job-evaluation etc. directly contribute to un- employment. Are you against all produc- tivity dealing In principle?

WIll you fight to end such dealing in the mining industry?

opposed DALY: I am to national productivity dealing in the mining industry. For us this is very bad strategy- oppose it all the way. With the geologica. con- litions in mining, if you make a deal you cannot be certain that you will reach the targets set in particular mines because you do not know in advance what geological conditions are going to be like. Equally I am opposed to local productivity deals for the same reason. They do mean in general speed-up and intensifying the work to meet targets, making the miner increase the risks of injury and disease to himself and his mates. JOHNS: So you are against signing any productivity deal In the mines? DALY: Oh yes. In fact where they still exist, for a minority.

of men, we are trying to get them abolished for a high-day wage which is our strategy throughout the industry.

ANTI-UNION LAWS

JOHNS: We now know the extent of the Torles antl-trade.

union legislation. It threatens to dismantle every gain won by the unlons since their Inception. Would It be cor- rect to assume that you are opposed to national strike action by the miners and other unions to defeat this legisla- tion? DALY: Oh no. I cannot speak for my executive, but my view is that. this so-called Industrial Relations Bill is an employers' charter and I am positive that it will be resisted by the trade unions and resisted success- fully. in my This resistance, opinion, should include indus- trial action. Our executive will be dis- cussing the Bill when we have had time to consider it. I am certain that we will reject it and if the TUC is not successful in persuading the government to withdraw it I will be trying to persuade other union leaders to fight it in every way possible - and this will include industrial action.

JOHNS: Are you against a poll- tical campalgn which Involves Industrial action to force the government to resign on this Issue?

BY ROBERT B

Price 24s post incl Saturday, October, 10, 1970 DALY: I said at conference, in support of our own claim, the labour movement should unite in opposition to this legislation. I would think that the ideal method of struggle would be joint industrial and political action to bring the vernment down and ensur at this legislation is done an finished with. JOHNS: What do you feel about the position of the man you succeeded in pffice, Will Paynter, who Is now in the hot-seat as a member of the Commission on Industrial Rela- tions under this Tory govern- ment? DALY: here has been a rising militancy among miners that I have in my own way tried to develop and the climate has totally changed in the last few years. When Paynter was in office here the mood was generally not as militant as it should have been, and he had, I sup- pose, to adapt himself to the situation. We are now in a more fortunate position to conduct what I have called for many times over the year—an offen- sive strategy. JOHNS: Do you think that he is wrong to remain in his postion? DALY: No, not particularly.

has no teeth any- The CIR way ... JOHNS: Well the Torles are certainly trying to give It some.

DALY: Yes, well I doubt very much whether Paynter will remain on the Commission if the Bill goes through. I may be wrong here, but my feeling at the time when Paynter went on the CIR was that it was better to have someone like him from the unions than perhaps someone with different political and industrial attitudes.

WORKERS PRESS

JOHNS: Finally Mr Daly, what do you think of the Workers Press. We have published as a dally now for one year and had improved sales and tech- niques. We have criticized you often-please criticize us now If you wish. DALY: I think typographically it is attractive. I think politic- ally there are a few things that I disagree with, but I don't want to go into them at the moment-the important thing is to get together and start pushing. I have noted over the years that the Workers Press and its predecessor 'The Newsletter'.

have, every time they men- tioned me, managed to portray me as some kind of left- talking revisionist. I don't think we should go into this at the moment, but I am prepared to go into it with any of your members or sup- porters over a pint of beer sometime. But I will say that despite that fact that I can't agree with a lot of what it says, I recognize the spirit behind the people who produce it and the are working objectives they for. Therefore in as much as the Workers Press is helping the miners-all power to its elbow. JOHNS: Thank you Mr Daly.

We will be fighting alongside all the miners in their great coming battle.

THE STATE visit of French President Pompidou to the Soviet Union is the occasion for a glittering pageant in honour of 'peaceful co- existence' between the Stalinist bureaucracy and the French capitalist class.

Pompidou and his entourage, including Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann and a small tribe of lesser Gaullist politicians, are being given red-carpet treat- ment. As well as a round tour of Siberia, the Soviet space centre at Baikonur, Tashkent and Samarkand, Pompidou will have several hours of private talks with top Soviet leaders. There is little doubt that the communiqués speaking of 'amity' and 'mutual understanding' be- tween the participants, will be substantially correct. Before his departure Pompidou explained: 'France remains faithful to the policy defined by General de Gaulle which has as its aim the strengthening of understanding and co-operation between all the countries of eastern and western Europe and first of all between France and the Soviet Union.'

TACTFUL

He spoke glowingly of his previous trip east, as de Gaulle's Prime Minister in 1967, but tact- fully omitted to mention de Gaulle's last excursion, when he returned post-haste bedecked with Stalinist garlands from Rumania to face a general strike of the French working class in May 1968. DURING US President Nixon's recently-completed whistle-stop tour of friends and acquaintances in Europe and the Mediterranean, the broadest smiles were un- doubtedly reserved for His Holiness Pope Paul VI, who received Nixon at home in the Vatican city. Flanked by impressive an retinue of bodyguards the distin- guished guest prudently arrived and departed by helicopter to avoid massive demonstrations in the city of Rome, and affably adopted • a cruciform pose for photographers in St Peter's Square. The cordial exchanges SO widely reported were by no means only formal. Pope and President have much in common, and not least an intelligence service designed to keep thorough tabs on left- and wingers other potentially 'disruptive' elements. Naturally St Peter's heir does not aspire to a network the size of the CIA, but Mother Church herself, as revelations in Italy last ADVANCED work-study systems applied to phy- sical handicapped workers are examined in the current issue of the Institute of Work Study Practitioners' journal. The article, originally pre- sented as a paper at the Work-Study European Federation Conference in May this year, is concerned with 'utilization of . handi- capped workers in industry'.

It explains that employing such workers involves great problems: they cannot work effectively enough; they can- not work hard enough; they cannot stand the pressure of ordinary industrial work.

The answer is said to be to design the work-place to fit the worker.

China, the Middle East and even European security-their points of view have grown closer, are often parallel and sometimes coincide. whetted by the Appetites treaty and the Bonn-Moscow blows they helped to strike at the Arab revolution, the Kremlin Stalinists clearly hope to persuade Pompidou to put his full weight behind a European "security' conference. Accordingly, all class ques- tions must be thrust out of sight.

The Stalinist press is silent on Gaullist repression of the French labour movement and the laws As Monsignor Patrone, direc- tor of the Genoa Catechismal Bureau, subsequently explained, this/extra form was required by 'the present moment of particular effervescence in the places where we live and work'. Father Agostino, who did not attend the special conference, was highly put out when faced with the new form. As he disarmingly explained, . he refused to fill it in and justi- fied his decision as 'a matter of conscience'. His 200 or so fellow priests teaching in the city felt no such qualms and apparently completed the forms promptly and worker must be given a series of speed tests on dexterity, co-ordination and accuracy, learning ability to find which actions he can perform norm- ally and to isolate the dis- ability. These tests are based on the basic manual operations of the Methods-Time-Measure- ment (MTM) system-reach, move, grasp, position and turn with the 'standard' MTM times as a base.

REACH TEST

For example, a reach test is made by getting the worker to sit with his hand resting on a metal plate. He reaches for- ward from this and takes an engineering nut from a box.

The 'performance-time' for the action is recorded by an electronic counter connected to the plate and box. A grasp test is made by giv- ing the worker ten nuts to hold in one hand. These have to be slipped one at a time on to a metal rod. Tests for turn are made by giving the worker a handle to twist. After the tests, which last for six to eight hours, spread over two or three days, a full MTM analysis of the operative is said to have been made. Following this, the worker is given manual operations to perform which have been plan- ned and analysed, using MTM.

establishing collective guilt for demonstrations. The bloody colonial war being Pompidou's waged by troops against the liberation fighters in Chad is passed over. French employers, against whom Communist Party trade union militants are in bitter struggle, appear in 'L'Humanité's' columns as praiseworthy partici- pants in Soviet economic develop- ment-most importantly Renault, scheduled to share with Daimler- Benz and Fiat in building a giant lorry plant in Siberia. Truly, rose-tinted spectacles are the order of the day.

accurately. Father Agostino was shortly to discover, however, that a con- science of his type is a serious obstacle to preferment in the Church-he was suspended from his post.

•PROTEST

His fellows among the lay teaching staff protested and Genoa demonstrated students against his victimization.

And, to the horror of the authorities, the matter Church exploded into a national scandal.

In a final irony the issue was taken up by the secular capitalist press - who themselves have a record for vigorous whitewashing of spying and provocations by the state intelligence services against the left wing-as a stick to beat the Christian Democrats. For bat peal insation, thee have engaged, with the support of fascists and mon- archists, in parliamentary man- oeuvres to defeat the divorce bill before the Senate. If divorce becomes legal in Italy, some of the credit must go to the humble and chaste Father Agostino, and his view that what God wishes to know about the left wing he should find out for himself. The resulting performance level at these is then compared with that of a 'normal' per- son. The final table shows what actions the operative can perform normally and those which are affected by the dis- ability. The worker is then given tasks and a working lay-out which can avoid the difficult elements and enable him to achieve 'normal' MTM times.

DWARF

Examples are given of the case of a dwarf, where it may only be necessary to reduce the dimensions of the working area, and a worker has one hand which does not func- tion properly. Here, work is specially arranged so that the good hand does all the complicated and straining movements. The system which has been developed by the industrial section of the management Norwegian Institute of Tech- nology is claimed to be suit- able for 'ultilization of older workers and re-education of workers' It states that results so far 'indicate that the efficiency of a handicapped worker in some cases may increase by about 50 per cent'. Hiding behind the genuine need to provide a trade, ther- apy and rehabilitation train- ing for the handicapped worker, the work-study con- sultants evolve speed-up sys- tems to turn even disabled workers into speeding auto- matons. The early concepts of the craft training, both for physi- cal and psychological purposes, are now swept away and he or she must become a top speed manipulator in some light engineering process (assembling . door-locks and bicycle bells are two examples given). It is true to say that at its time of crisis, capitalism can allow no worker to dictate his own speed of working which reasonable, he finds safe and comfortable. He must either be made to conform to the pace required for maximum profit-or go to the scrap-heap.
