The most radical resolution passed by the Young Liberals national conference held over Easter was undoubtedly that on workers! control of transport. Its main points were: "1. The long-term policy should be controlled by a Board, on which} the majority would be directly elected by all employees; half the nemainder of the members being elected by the general public and half nominated by the municipality, heads of departments and the seneral manager. 2. Workers' councils should be separately constituted to negotiate with the management, through committees to which both. management and workers' council should appoint representatives. ~~ 3. The committees should submit proposals to the Board through the workers' council. 4s a corollary, it was suggested that full-time union officials should be entitled to sit on boards, etc. and that "industrial democracy should be fostered through industrial unions and a militant and representative shop stewards movement," With all its wooliness, this is far to the left of any other youth group's line. Sooner or later a conflict in the Y.L. will come.
