from an industrial correspondent The following letter sent out by the 7/208 branch of the TGWU is of great interest to the whole labour movement:
"Since 28th March, 1966, we have been conducting an official dispute that has been endorsed by our General Executive Council for the right of Trade Union recognition. The enclosed material explains why we are in dispute. We feel that it is in the interest of the whole Trade Union movement that we continue this struggle to enable our Union to take our case to Court to win the right of recognition.
"To do this we need financial support. As a Trade Unionist you will appreciate the hardships that our men are facing. This dispute has now been carried on for 33 weeks but our members are still determined to win the right to form a Trade Union within the factory with full rights to negotiate wages and conditions. We will be grateful if you would bring the enclosed correspondence before your members to consider granting us a donation or taking a collection from the membership to help us win this struggle.
"All monies should be sent to: Ian Armstrong, 5, Loch Road, Chapelhall, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
