The right wing of the National Union of Toachors suffered a major defcat when the Nottingham branch voted to support anothor candidate, John Airchbold of Durham, rather than Oliver Barnott for tho position of treasuror of tho Union. Barnett who is from Nottingham has boon ono of tho leading mombors of the caucus responsible for the sell-out on the wage claim which resultod in the throat of strike action boing withdrawn. Owing to the mothod of financial support for national officers in the N.U.T. it will bo difficult for Barnett to stand for tho position of troasurer even if ho is nominatod by other branches. The decision was a very closs ono, a first voto gavo a majority of one for Barnott, however a ballot was demanded and tho docision roversod by 4 votes — 38 to 34. Archbold stands for a more vigourous policy in rolation to wagos.
