Instead, suggested the TUC they should take out court injunctions against BSC manage. ment whose announcement of closures might be against the law!
As we go to press it seems likely that under this pressure the January 21 action will be Joseph John Lister, in launching material advances that had been made over the past twelve months as a result of the sacrifice of the WSL members. These achievements included the launching of the Woman Worker paper, the publication of the first issue of the International Discussion Bulletin and the republication of the founding documents of the WSL in a second edition of The Battle for Trotskyism.
The expansion of the work of the WSL both nationally and internationally would pose an even greater challenge in terms of finding the necessary material resources needed to enable that work to proceed, comrade Lister said.
In particular, the launching at Christmas of the Trotskyist International Liaison Committee and the WSL's commitment to materially assist that Liaison Commitiee would require extra funds.
At the same time, the WSL was planning to purchase an A4• printing press in order to enable it to produce leaflets and journals under its own control, and if necessary at short notice.
The response from the comrades present was enthusiastic with £702 either pledged or collected at the meeting.
The fund is the largest ever launched by the WSL and it is planned to raise the tund in two stages, the first half by Easter and the second half by the end of July proceed.
Just as important, the regular Socialist Press Monthly Fund must not be allowed to suffer because of the increased sacrifice that will inevitably be demanded of readers and supporters of Socialist Press.
Let's get the new Special Fund off to a really good start.
