THE DAILY ORGAN OF TI

National talks on Mold take-over NATIONAL talks will start tomorrow between engineer- ing union officials and the management of the now- occupied Allis Chalmers factory, Mold, N' Wales. The 120 men took charge of the works Monday on morning to prevent manage- ment removing equipment used in the manufacture of agricultural machinery. They have organized an eight-hour shift system which keeps the gates manned 24 hours a day. The men say that the US- owned Allis Chalmers com- pany has not fully explained why the factory. has been closed down. Yesterday workers involved in the occupation talked to Workers Press. Mr W. I. Jones said: On October we were told we were finished. It dropped like couldn't a bombshell. We believe it. We couldn't believe that they would do such a trick as closing the factory over our heads. 'We were all a happy family worked in this place; we'd together for years. 'After October a closure was always in the offing, but we were always hoping for a change of heart. In the end we had no alternative but to take action. If we didn't take action the stuff would go and we would be left with an empty factory.' Bill Roberts, said: "The idea of occupation rose simultaneously among all the There's only us and men. Synthite in the town. Synthite employs only 70 to 100. I've never been unemployed in my life before. 'We're hoping to get work in the factory or someone to take it over.

man who ruthlessly pursued the Tories' callous anti-working class policies from the first minute he stepped into Downing St. If he moved to inflate anything it was profits. Yet still the 'Sun' can say that 1971 was the year that Heath turned his image from that the 'born loser into that of Ted, the astonishing winner'. If the working class think of Heath as a winner I'll eat my biro. But for the real flavour of 1972 in Tory press circles, over to Anne Edwards of the 'Sunday Express'. 'Let us have no more whining Irish voices saying how poor and downtrodden they are and how brutally the army treat them.

'Let's have a break from demos, shouting and snarling up traffic about something in protesting far off lands [Bangla Desh?] which the British government is powerless ?] to do anything about. And a special message for our actor readers: 'Let's see less of actors giving their everything us views on under the sun since all they are good for is char- portraying a acter someone else has created.'

What did Shakespeare say about 'all the world's a stage'?

Charles Wintour considered imposing ernment censorship. total Lord press Beaverbrook, Wintour's former employer, was up to his neck in this plan as Minister for Air- craft Production. Not exactly the best week, you may think, for Wintour to go sounding off about 'threats to editorial freedom' and 'the dan- gers to a free press' from inside the industry. Our man's main target is those who call for any kind of workers' control of the media. He hints darkly that the leaders of the movement are politically 'all far to the left', drawing pre- cisely the sort of conclusion his paper's frightened middle-class readers love to shudder over: "They [the "left'] are not in- terested in supporting freedom have it of expression as we today' He goes on to make clear pre- cisely what kind of freedom of expression he means. In December 1970, journalists 'Standard' condemned at the printworkers there for trying to vicious • Jak get cartoon— against the power men's work- to-rule-withdrawn. Wintour recalls this inglorious incident to attack journalists at the 'Scottish Daily Express, some of he alleges, whom, abetted printers in a stoppage against a similarly anti-working- class cartoon by Cummings.

So 'editorial freedom', Beaver- brook-style, means freedom to print as much reactionary com- ment as your readers will buy without interference from the péople you're attacking-the men and women who produce your profits. , Thursday January 6, 1972

ended its deathly run on BBC Television this week. Eight million working men and women fed up with watching the genius and integrity of British business- men sighed with relief! of the Of much close the material for scripts came direct from the big oil mono- polies themseives. When Sir Eric Drake was appointed chairman of British Petroleum (BP), he gave a private dinner party for oil company chiefs. Apparently Lady Drake swanned around the room asking the executives which of the characters in The Trouble- shooters' they most identified with. Almost to a man they plumped for Mogul's Willy Izzard played by Phillip Latham. Izzard, if you have watched elegant, the series, the lean, toff who has never let his tender hands be blackened by the revolting oil which he makes £25,000 a year from. Phillip Latham as Mogul's Willy Izzard: they all identify with him. Got your Mao suit yet THE BEST dressed blades in Manhattan are rushing to buy the very latest gear-Chairman Mao suits. It's all part of the Mao-is- really-a-good-guy spirit which is sweeping America. One large store in the exclusive end of New York has converted a whole department into cater- ing for Chinese goods. The walls and ceiling have been done out in bamboo and piped Chinese music plays as the stockbrokers and bankers examine the wares.

There are some dangers in this flood of Chinese goods-- made possible by the lifting of the 20-year on Chinese imports in Tune. For instance, who customers buy Mao suits are advised to in salt water to set rinse them the colours. Apparently there have been one or two nasty instances in which the customer, after a hot day in the city, has arrived home, removed his suit and found he has turned a shade of green or blue. The other danger is that a number of the older, hardcore customers haven't adapted to the love affair with Mao quite so readily. They are boycotting shops which freely advertise their Chinese goods. This means that some Chinese gear requires discreet doctoring: the labels are from 'Made in Hong Kong'. Sometimes the labels are removed altogether.

A report from New York in this week's capitalist press also notes: 'Américan cosmetics manu- facte Chinese a loady propagating to go with the clothes-a lot of dark eye- liner against a pale make-up, to be worn with a "mysterious expression"! The 'mysterious same expression' is also being worn by Maoist groups throughout the capitalist world who are watch- ing the chairman prepare to meet Nixon in February in Peking.

Thé same Nixon, incidentally, is busy slaughtering hundreds of innocent people in massive night bombing raids in which more bombs are being dropped than been recorded since Hiroshima.
