Continued from previous page donation of £50 from the Derbyshire Area of the NUM, pending branch approval of a much larger sum, £10 raised at a collection in the "Dolphin" Kings Cross, by the Young Commmist League, £50 from shop stewards at the Sheepbridge Steelworks in Chesterfield, £40 from Babcock & Wilcox, Dalmuir, £10 from Glasgow Trades Council, £100 from the Betteshanger branch of the NUM, £21 from South Shields Trades Council. This list is necessarily a random one, intended only to illustrate the breadth of the support which has come from every section of the Labour movement, and the cumulative value of the collections which are being made in factories all over the country. The sour notes come only from some of our own leaders and from people like Lord Watkinson, a former Tory Defence Minister, who blandly tells a city businessmen's lunch of the seamen's attacks on "our country and our livelihood."
