In thea February issue of Blectrim,, the &.T.U. Journal, J.T. Byrne, (Secretary of the 3.T.U. since his successful High Court action om against the Union's Commimist officials) has published an editorial in which he bitterly attacks Brother Doyle, the leader of the Slectricity Supply Shop Stewards Movem nt "i+ is necessary", says Byrne, "to say a word to those people who feel that the Trade Union movement can be pushed around by unofficial shop stewards committess.c+s We want to make it perfectly clear that the §.T.U.—will not tolerate any attempts by unauthorised bodies to usurp the functions of the elocted leadership."

(The emphasis is Byrne's)» This warning may not worry tho E.T.U. Shop Stewards as much as lir. Byrne would like it to, tt it will sorve to persuade exen more Trade Unionists of the true nature of the now E.T.U. leadership.
