Conference Details and credentials (£1) available from G. Webster, 169, Barclay Road, Warley, West Midlands The bitter lessons of recent betrayals and political preparation for the struggles to come will be the keynote of the conference called by the Campaign for Democracy in the Labour Movement on July 5.

The agenda will include discussion on three major topics: the steel and BL strikes; the struggle against the cuts; and the fight for democracy and socialist policies in the Labour Disaffiliated Among the speakers will be witch-hunted Labour Party socialist Ted Heslin, leading militants from the steel and BL unions, anti-cuts campaigns and Dave Hallsworth, secretary of Tameside Trades Councilwhich was disaffiliated by the TUC for convening on Ireland!

With applications for credentials now coming in from TGWU, ASTMS, AUEW and other trade union branches, it is clear that the conference will be considerably bigger than the CDLM's • last conference in October last year.

The CDLM has a long record of campaigning for independent demands to defend working class living standards and jobs against Labour and Tory cuts, closures and wage controls.

With the Thatcher offensive gathering pace and moves towards a 10% pay! limit throughout the public sector it is clearly vital to hammer out a clear programme around which workers can combat the treachery of their existing trade union and Labour leaders, and mobilise mass action to bring down the Tory government.

The CDLM conference to be Ted Heslin held at Digbeth Hall, Birmingham, offers a forum to debate such a programme. It is open to both delegates and to individual visitors from labour movement organisations, student unions and to unemployed workers and housewives.
