Uncorrected machine reading. This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.

Like many rank and file, members of IS, ! have been surprised and disturbed by the frenzied incoherent attacks made by Red Weekly on the Right to Work march. Reports have usually been a mixed bag of trivial grpes among wrich genuine pon tical criticism sticks out like a jewel in a dung heap.

You demand the right to speak? Earn that right by hard work. Earn delegates to steering bodies of the campaign INational Councils delegate conferences, local committees). Though individual IMG members have joined in buildina a ficht against unemployment, as a national organisation you have abstained in the real work. No national commitment to ne Duroine local belated participation in the marches (not stunts, comrades!).

And now you devote a page to letters on the march and nothina on the 6 November conference. if you want broad based conference, work for it. If you want your voice to be heard, fight for it. You remain silent at your peril. Don't, comrades, join the long list of irrelevant sects.

Even worse than this ignorance of the conference, is the failure to launch a campaign in support of the 17 November day of action. Instead you cuddle up to the comfy, yet redundant, vastness of the Get involved. 1 fear you will suffer severe consequences if you do not.

towards ALAN GIBBONS, Crewe.

Made Gibbons is a little confused on his facts. Yes, we did demand the right in an article In€ amber conference! So it is hardly soning the conterence
