"Our committee has been in existence for a year. During this time we have seen the introduction of far-reaching anti-trade union legislation with further steps being planned; the Government's economic policies in the form of a wage freeze have taken an alarmingly anti-working class turn; and finally the courts are being used increasingly against striking trade unionists. We have tried to do our part in combatting these disastrous policies and have been able to provide assistance in particular cases where requested. By means of meetings and pamphlets we have publicised the case against the wage freeze. The pamphlet, ‘Incomes Policy, Legislation and Shop Stewards', published by the committee has sold over 9000 copies, VUF iateSt venture, the publication of a bi-monthly magazine, Resistance, provides a means of exchanging experience and ideas between factories and industries. We hope the efforts of the committee have been of value to the movement and would now like to appeal for your active and financial support. Donations are urgently needed to enable us to carry on. Please raise these questions with your union branch or shop stewards' committee with a view to a regular order for a number of copies of Resistance: this would be most helpful." ........
