Militant Scottish Electrians' Demonstration

from a Glasgow correspondent Over 1,500 Scottish contracting electricians demonstrated in Glasgow, Friday April 29, chanting "Wage freeze, out!" The electricians marched in a quarter of mile long procession to the city centre after a mass meeting in Govan Town Hall, At the meeting they had unanimously agreed to continue their strike against the Government's decision to freeze their 1 shillin-an hour wage increase, At the front of the demonstration was a banner showing Harold Wilson withdrawing a bloody dagger from the back of a kilted workman, with the caption: "We trusted him", A section of the demonstration sang "He-ay-addio ~- We're marching for a Bob," while at the other end a lusty version of "We shall not be moved" resounded through the streets, Placards bearing slogans such as "Give us 12 wee pence" and "Cut prices -- cut profits" stopped the thousands of passers-by interested in reading them, After the demonstration a spokesman for the central strike committee said the number of sites involved was now 150, with over 2,000 on strike, He said "From today's meeting we are issuing a challenge to the Government: ‘If you say it is illegal for us to strike, what are you going to do about it? If, as you claim we have been breaking the law for ten days and you have not taken action, we say you are afraid,' In our opinion you are afraid to act because the electricians nave a 100% case, while yours does not bear examination,'
