One of the defendants, Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, was denied the attorney of his choice and was gagged and bound to a chair. He denounced these acts as depriving him of his consti- tutional rights. Defence lawyers who fought Judge Hoffman's the notorious handling of the case received stiff sentences for contempt of court, as did the defendants. decision a 'devastating mistake'.

Yet his Administration's 'infla- tion alert' last week stated openly that continuing inflation would be met by restrictive policies with 'unused plant capacity and high unemployment: exactly the end result of SST folding up.

Nixon's problem is imple- menting such policy without a political come-back and working- class opposition. * If the SST falls, the effects will be considerable. anti-poverty 'It's a sort of programme in Seattle', one Sen- ate aide said. is not going 'The vote to whether we need the hinge on but whether Seattle plane, on needs the jobs.' Seattle, with a 12 per cent unemployment rate, certainly does. And 30,000 of the Seattle unemployed were sacked from Boeings in the first nine months of this year. (In the Seattle area it is now possible to rent new house months' with the first three rent paid for and a free refrig- erator thrown in.) Boeing's 100,000-strong labour force is scheduled to be halved by the end of next year. But even this 'optimistic' esti- mate was based on continuation of the SST project. Nixon claims the eventual loss of 150,000 jobs if SST does not get the go-ahead.

Carillo speaking at Wednesday ni IN ITS COVERAGE of the Dece the line being followed by the Br This line is, as we all know,, to oppose the demand that the General Council of the TUC organize a General Strike against the proposed anti- union legislation. Instead, all the emphasis is placed on 'rank-and-file' pro- test activity which lets the TUC leaders off the hook.

One Moscow broadcast ex- plained: It would be folly to expect the General Council of the TUC, or still more the Labour Parlia- mentary leaders, to stand up for the workers at each individ- ual factory and shop This will be done, as in the past, by shop- level trade union organizations.'

REMINISCENT

Then, using an argument rem- iniscent of the early 1930s, when the German Stalinists claimed that the Nazis would never destroy the reformist trade unions and parties, the same broadcast went on: 'It is not the TUC and Labour Party leaders who will be fined and prosecuted ... but the rank and file at shop level.. That is why, the Soviet Stalin- ist argument goes, the TUC is not concerned with the Tory anti-union proposals.

an official General Strike, is evaded, even derided, by such 'left' sounding talk about 'shop levels' and 'rank-and-file'.

Once again, as in every pre- vious phase of this Tory govern- ment's brief history, the strategy of British and Soviet Stalinists is carefully synchronized.

WEST HAM, London, Trades Council passed a motion at its recent meeting calling on all affiliated members to take part in the December 8 action 'as the first step in a campaign to bring about a General Strike and the defeat of the Tory government'. It also called on affiliated members to make their union leaderships organ- ize a united fight against the anti-union laws. Hill!!

HIH!!!!

In both cases, "left' phrases cover up the retreat of the TUC from a fight against the Tories, and in turn prevent millions of workers being brought into the fight, through their unions, against the Bill. This can only strengthen the and their bureaucratic Tories allies in the workers' movement, just at a time when the entire trade union leadership must either be forced to fight or make way for those that will. Moscow Radio's line on December 8 shows just how conscious is the counter-revolu- tionary role of Stalinism in the present situation in Britain.

COMMENTS

Its line was belied, in any case, by innumerable comments from workers who struck on Decem- ber 8. Here we print just a few from the London demonstration.
