The Labour Group on Glasgow Corporation have withdrawn the Whip from three Labour councillors, Lally, Dynes and Harley who sponsored a letter asking fer support for an organisation - the Glasgow Educational Reform Association - Which was calling a meeting to rally support for the City Labour Party policy of the abolition of fee paying and selection in the city's schools. This follows hard upon the failure of Cllr. Moore the convenor of education, to carry out his pledge to the City Labour Party policy making conference, that he would introduce a resolution for their abolition. Glasgow's Labour Group have thereford got themselves into the grotesque situation of taking disciplinary measures against people for following Labour Party policy both local and national, No doubt when (as seems likely) the Labour Party is defeated in the municipal elections these same 'rebels' will receive the blame
