from a Manchester reader In introducing the Manchester Socialist Bulletin, the editors say: "concerned at the drift away from socialist policies, Manchester socialists, from trade unions, political parties and local progressive groupings, have set up a new orgenisation - the Manchester Socialist Conference - to provide a forum for all socialists to meet and discuss matters of local and national importance, The Conference will be organising schools, public meotings.....We will provide information of use and interest to socialists, and this Bulletin is the first issue of a project to this end, Apart from a digest of important national news, we shall report the activities of local MPs, cover local industrial news and provide a calendar of coming events in the Manchester area....." And the editors live up to their words in the first issue: the local and national calendar are very useful, and other articles include a‘coverage of union conferences, and material on the seamen's strike, Cost 1/- post paid tot Manchester Socialist Bulletin, 22, Lidgate Grove, Manchester 20,
