workand of July 3ed/4th a new revoluouth organisation, the Spartacus unded in London. More than 120 d the founding conference, all parts of Britain. ence worked out the organisation's ideas on the situation in Britain today. on the crisis within the education system and on its international orientation. It also drew up a constitution for the organisation, elected a Inadership and laid down membership principles.
Special discussions were held on the struggle in Ireland, on the schools movement, and on the struggle of black people in Britain.
At the annual conference of delegates representing Co-operative Insurance Society Agents (CIS Agents), who are members of USDAW, the decision to take strike action for the first time in 41 years was unaniThese agents who earn, on average, £30 per week, are striking because in March and again in July 1969 of 16 per week spept by an agent as expenses on such application was put in to the CIS that the average things as telephone and postage should be shared b the Society at least on a 50% basis. At present every penny comes out of the agents' own pockets. The application was not discussed until October. Eventually he board met on the 9th and 10th April under the hairmanship of Professor Dennision (Economics University of Newcastle). The simple request was soon strike, which is 95% of the total number in the country complicated by the Society who eans for ever delay. 7,500 agents went on a tempted to use such has been in the form of a letter from the Co-op saying An interesting development from the strike already that anyone expelled by the Union for working would still continue to be employed by them. Until now the Co-op has followed a policy of 100% trade union membership Also on 7th July the agents took to the streets to stage a rather unorthodox demonstration. It consisted of a march from Lincolns Inn Fields down Kingsway to the Strand, over Waterloo Bridge and up to the Houses of Parliament to lobby their M.P.s and was led Dy bagpipes Even though the strike is official, it has been on since June, and funds are running low.

Representatives of the Ligue Communiste, the Jeune Garde Socialiste, a Swedish organisation and the International Marxist Group spoke at the conference, bringing fraternal greetings from their organisations to the S.L.; the conference also received greetings from the LSSP(R) in Ceylon. The conference took a decision to make the S.L. a fraternal organisation of the Fourth International and its British section the International Marxist Group, following in the tradition of other Trotskyist youth organisations such as the JCR in France, the JGS in Belgium, the YSA in the United States and the Y.S. in Canada.

John Brendan Troy Being a socialist for many years, I welcomed the opportunity in May 1965 of becoming an agent for the Co-operative Insurance Society thinking then that this was a semi-socialist society with aims similar to those of many working people.
There still rings in my ears the assurances of my employers that this job had great potential of improved earnings. In retrospect I am alarmed at the erosion of real earnings that has taken place.
Firstly the cost of living has risen due to the long intervention of the Labour government.
We were told that Insurance workers could not negotiate for wage increases which would be passed onto the consumer as this would mean our Insurance policie would be priced off the market. So by negotation our employer withdrew our tog commission insurance table with no right of redress.
We negotiated and won a wage decrease the commission on some forms of life insurances would decline each year until 1972 when it will have contracted by 5%. This was the direct result of conciliation which we felt would look in our favour.
We have learned from this that the organised strength of the membership can win wage increases not conciliation. My situation is this my standard of living has gone down five years. The only way in which to offset this is to work harder. More anti-social hours, more Reading, Berks.

The S.L. will also be taking especially seriously the need to mobilise young people against the racist onslaught on Black people in Britain, linking itself with militant Black organisations. But in the coming period the attacks by the state on the organised workers movement in this country will be the decisive challenge for revolutionary Marxists; the conference therefore decided to urgently prepare the organisation for administration. Bearing in mind that mine is a seven day a week job with wife and family answering the door and the phone on all manner of queries at all hours of the day or night!
My take home pay after massive stoppages is £20 but the expenses 1 incur for my job eat up f6 of that. So for a seven day week I receive E14.
This is the background for the discontent which we have to face. After 12 months of delaying tactics the Cis were torced into negotiations on any agency expense allowance, which they sabotaged by presenting a deal to the Uhion when it was not in a position to decide on. We therefore issued an ultimatum to the society after a Union Conference decision to strike on June 11 1970. Our strike is therefore official.
The Society then delivered to 8000 agents a letter from the General Manager of the CIS assuring anyone who decided to ignore the strike call they need have no fears for their jobs as Clause 12 in our agency agreement would be overlooked. This Clause says that we must be a member of a TU recoginsed by the TUC. In other words the CIS now offer protection to blacklegs and strike breakers.

The founding conference of the S.L. took place in the wake of vicious repression agains eight Cambridge students and Irish militants.
The conference decided to go straight from t hall where it was meeting at the end of the co ference on Sunday and march from Speakers Corner to the house of the Home Secretary.
Reginald Maudling, in Chester Square. An impromptu meeting at Speakers Corner gathe several hundred people and the march started off some 500 people strong. Militancy was we sustained throughout the march and it was fel to be a very satisfactory end to the conferenc long contingent marched with banners and slogans showing people in Manch the might of the anger of th TUists when challenged. The Exec of the Union of all the workers in Ho have come onto our side and will black any work of any member who does not obey the strike call. This is what TUism is about, comrades in arms against all forms of reaction and bureaucracy and we are 100% sure we will win.
agencies for the price they paid as no-one would That agents would not be able to sell there consider them profitable. If we lose an agent could lose over E1000 on retirement or leaving the Soc.
To give emphasis to the serious discontent and frustration another aspect of the set up. We get no holiday pay, take two weeks off for a holiday you work twice as hard when you return, and then receive commission on money you collect. The CIS pay nothing. Be at home due to sickness or accident you receive nothing from the Society. You get commissions when you collect again all you receive is your NH payments.
Many might say why tolerate it. Why not get out, to that I would say try changing at 50 years of age and see the golden opportunities waiting for you in this bastion of capitalism with employers putting you onto the scrapheap debasing human dignity. No the policy must be fight back, make the job worthwhile with the tools at our disposal, jolt the Co-op to its early ideals and principles a working mans organisation belonging to the people and run for and by the people, with a socialist outlook another arm in the fight for a truly socialist society.

WE RECOGNISE OUR OLD FRIEND, OUR OLD MOLE, WHO KNOWS SO WELL HOW TO WORK UNDERGROUND SUDDENLY TO APPEAR:
[ This letter has been received from two Irish comrades who are political prisoners of British Imperialism. In printing it we stress once again our solidarity with them and refer comrades to editorial in current issue.] Dear friends:
As we are political prisoners in an English jail it gives us great encouragement to see our eireumstances defined and uniformly exposed in all revolutionary publications and partieularly The Red Mole. This, we are eternally grateful for, as it is a tremendous source of inspiration to know that we are by no means forgotten.
There are times, however, that we are embarassed and disappointed at seeing us referred to as the "Irish movement" in such a way as if our struggle was different from other liberation struggles throughout the world. Although we do admit that national liberation is usually an initial objective, we have never taken our uitimate goal as divorced from an international perspective, as we see a blow struck against capitalism and Imperialism anywhere in the world as a step nearer liberation for the working class.
We are happy to see that Tony Soares is free once more, thus enabling him to carr on his revolutionary work. We note witl ppreciation the tremendous work carried out b ne vanous relase comm ees Dur wowa aK to see them co-ordinated under one directorate as the need for more effective action in this line is becoming more apparent.
There can be little doubt that the "law and order" regime have fired their first shots in Cambridge last week. Not only revolutionaries threatened with imprisonment, but the basic freedoms that workers have fought so hard to preserve, are also in danger. Workers must awaken to the fact that they have no allies in Parlament; that their phoney representatives will be only muttering piously from the opposition benches as shackles are ir brothers elsewbere are being held in bondage. We send frateral greetings to all our comrades outwith these walls and we reaffirm our position By ish, Creek, Brazilin, Avelca, eci, fellow internees that our struggle can not be divirced FOTE TO FIGHT OUR COMMON ENEMY.
Truternally yours, Conor Lynch, Co. Corh (7 year sentence)
Gerry Doherty Co. Monaghan (4 yr sentence) A complaint Dear Red Mole, It is a minor irritation to have one's book, predominantly about the overall relationships of science and society, particularly in Britain, reviewed under a general heading of " The Politics of American Science". It is rather more disturbing though for the development of an autonomous socielist culture in this country to find an increasing tendency among reviewers on the left to write anonymously or pseudonymously. THis would be legitimate tacties if the reviewer or the paper in which we he were writing were underground, or he was in anger of arrest, deportation or even the sack. As in Taw wsr tRe evewe sa teme000es0o! mathematics at one of the country's more seaave msucuvions, i seems saeer arrectacion.
But to the substance. Your reviewer (whoops, we nearly mentioned his name) wpues tnat we martam tnac tne contradictions of science under capitalism could be solved if only scientists were men of goodwill working on good things. In fact we argue precisely the reverse: " No structure can survive which relies upon the unsupported etpical integrity of the individual professional." We make clear that if we are to achieve a mancentred science it is social structures and goals which need changing. But this brings us tỏ the crux of the argument It is easy for armchair revolutionaries safe in their university tenure to sit back and quote ungels. as does vour reviewer on **the mode ot production. quotation is absolution and he no longer has to concern himself with how far present day scientific and technological innovations are transtorming the economic base of capitalist and technology. mystitication of pure science, a most un-Marxist attempt to erect a superstructure free of a base at all, is that what pure science is done becomes irrelevant. of no concern to socialists at all. It is certainly comforting to your reviewer to maintam this position as it has enabled him to iustifv at a CRW tesch-in his de are all pure science, ofcourse, and he may publish his results, so who worries?
Come, come anonymous professor. Don't be so naieve. THe relationship between science, technology and society is neither simple nor direct. THere is a measuee to which science forms both "base" and "superstructure". It is a dynamic of societal change as well as being driven by it. These relationships we discuss in our book as the "inner" and "outer' logics of science. It is a pity that many Marxist scientists have in fact given up debate on the neutrality of science, surrendered to the myth of i its ideology-free content. THis is particularly true within the Soviet Union where the reaction to the failure of attempts of the 1930's to create a "socialist biology etc. and the bitter and brutal aftermath was view or science as ideologicalv free is certainly not intellectually trivial.
There is a grave danger that this task will be shirked. It is easier to sloganise about revolution and its cleansing qualities, or to mistake an attack upon the bourgeois values with which science is taught for an attack on the bourgeois values of science itself, than to engage in this particular debate. It is in order to try to open this debate amongst socialist tendencies that we feel it worth commenting within a socialist journal on even so trivial a review as that our professorial comrade achieved.
Steven Rose Hilary Rose Once again, the Labour Party!
Dear Editor, I must write to dispute the volitical analysis contained in your editorial of July 1970 " For the workers the recent electoral victory of the Conservative Party represents a marginal set-back."
On the contrary there is no setback and for the following reasons:
First what has been proved by two terms of Labour in office does not require a third term; and anything which has not been proved bs five and a half years of Labour governnent is not likely to he proved by ten years of Labour govt.
Secondly, had the Tories not been elected the real nature of the two-party system would have become obscured. We shall now see whether the Tories can hang on to Bast of Suez, reduce faxes, curb inflation, put value back on the pound, expand production at a greater rate, ete. None of these things is likely to come to pass because ritish Imperialism is in shar deline and this overnment. like the last. will be forced ti continue with policies which were adopted as a consequence or tnac decune.
Thirdly, there are some people whose political activity is inhibited when Labour is in office, although the number of such people grew steadily less during the period of the Labour government. Now that the Tories are back these people can resume their full political struggle.
You say that " ..a Labour Party in opposition will once again be able to sustain the illusion that it is the only alternative to Toryism and in the ibsence of a real alternative it will not be easy to combat this illusion.' But it is no illusion. It is a FACT that the Labour Party is the only alternative to Toryism in Parlament and hence in government. Indeed, it is likely that these two parties will go on alternating until the end of British capitalism. A revolutionary party, the "real alternative' you mention, is, by definition, non-parlamentary. It's purpose would be to overthrow the British state and establish socialism.
In that case your next logical step would be to campaign for a Labour victory. THe whole of your editorial shows your disappointment that the Labour Party did not win.
You complain that " we seem to have the worst of both worlds . A massive Tory victory could have the effect of provoking some sort of struggle inside the ranks of the Labaur cauersu But in 1931, nd 1959 the Labour Party suffered considerable they finished up! Bevan himself ended his career by meekly joining the right-wing It is a pity that you place such hopes upon the abour Party because history shows that British working durable to gøro elther from the Ople hur Parothing or from Labour governments. If our future is to rest with the Labour Party then these islands an realise the opportunities that will soon be open to them, Britain may, one day, be able to show the world an example of an enlightened socialist society.
COMING: cisco, Calif. 94110 The Editor.
Dear Sir, Information has reached us from Kenya that three of the political detainees are very seriously ill. They are: Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, R. Achieng Oneko, and Ondiek Chillo.
We also learn that another detainee, O. Ma" Kanyengo, has been ona hunger strike against his continuing detention. Mr. Ma Kanyengo was the General Secretary of the Petroleum Workers' Union and the Assistant Secretary of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU), the Kenyan equivalent of the British TUC None of the detainees in Kenya hav committed any crime or been charged with any offence against the law. They have been detained since October last year because they were leaders of the Kenya People's Union, which is now proscribed, and advocated socialist policies similar to those being carried out by öther governments in East Africa, but dissimilar to the policies of the Kenya government.
At the time of their detention they had a constitutional and legal right to organise the Kenya People's Union. Among those arrested were all of the KPU elected members of Parliament and the Party's Principal officers.
The conditions in which the detainees are held are no different from those which are suffered by convicted criminals. In some respeats they are worse. They are given a diet of two meals daily, mainly of boiled beans; they spend 17½ hours out of 24 confined to their cells; they have inadequate exercise; and they are denied newspapers, radio or any other means of knowing what is going on in the outside world. For educated men previously accustomed to living an active public life such conditions are extremely injurious to the health, both physically and mentally.
The Government of Kenya would like to take the view that its political detention and its general suppression of democratic and human rights is a domestic matter in which nonKenyans should not interfere. But Kenya is a member of the United Nations and a subscriber to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of the Organisation of African Unity, of the Commonwealth, of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and of other intenational bodies, and as such cannot isolate itself from world public opinion. The people of Kenya are restricted in what they are able to do in this matter and a special responsibility therefore rests on people outside who enjoy democratic freedoms to do everything possible on behalf of the victims of political repression.
We appeal to your readers to use every possible means of protesting to President Kenyatta and the Government of Kenya and to demand the immediate release of these men whose very lives are now in danger. Yours sincerely, Akelo Ouma, Secretary, ODINGA SOLIDARIT Y COMMITTEE, 51 Patshull Road, London NWS.
