SMALL BUT SUCCESSFUL VSC_TRADE UNION CONFERENCE IN SCOTLAND The Glasgow and Edinburgh branches of the Vietnam Soli arity Campaign jointly initiated a conference of Scottish Trade Unionists to discuss the possibilities for medical and technical aid to the Vietnamese revolution. Taking place on 14th October it commenced with a summing up of the reasons why trade tmionists should give their support to Vietnam by Willie Boyle (DATA) and Bob Purdie (AEU), In the afternoon Pat Jordan, National Secretary of VSC, put forward a number of specific proposals for the mammer in which projects of material solidarity could be initiated. There was a welcome eagerness on the part of these present to discuss practical proposals and it seems likely that as a result of the conference some real progress will be made in Fife and in the Falkirk and Stirling areas. Ian Miller was able to report that as a reaubt of the appeal sent out to branches over the names of a number of prominent Scottish Trade Unionists over £50 had already been received and money was still coming in, It was agreed that attempts should be made to secure the acceptance of a solidarity position by the Scottish Trade Union Congress, which has consistently condemned American action in Vietnam, It must be admitted that we had hoped for a somewhat larger attendance than the 40 odd who came to the conference, But the discussions held there and the degree of enthusiasm shown by those present augur well for the future campaign in Scotland,
