With this third Week pamphlet on Workers! Control, we feel that we are moving into a new phase of the campaign for industrial democracy, Two’ previous gatherings in Nottingham and London have involved dozens of key trade union activists, academics, and socialist journalists in initiating what has now become a widespread concern. But the third seminar, held in Manchester last month, marked out a new level in more ways than one. First, it was overwhelmingly made up of trade union representatives. . Miners, dockers, steelmen, engineers, firemen, aircraft stewards: these were the majority of the participants, Secondly, it was concerned above all with practical action, Everyone was impatient to go beyond the talk stage, to start work. Thirdly, it had reached the point where many eyes were focussed upon its resultss toth the eyes if labour leaders like the MPs, Frank Allaun and Stan Orme, who kindly joined in, and the less welcome eyes of the strange character who stole the address list. For the next few months, the task is to take our findings out into the wide labour movement: to the TUC and the Labour Party Conference, to the unions at large and the columns of the Labour press, Reports of activities should be sent to Tony Topham, at l, Plantation Drive, Anlaby Park, Hull,
