Restore your Send to: WSL, BM Box 5277, London WCIN 3XX. , BM Box 5277, Our readers are already beginning to respond to our appeal in last week's Socialist Press to help us restore the cuts that we have been forced to make.

In Yorkshire, readers are coming forward to offer a regular payment by bankers order to help us overcome the financial difficulties that inflation has given rise to..

It is precisely the regular payment of extra sums of money like this that can help us with the first stage in restoring the cuts-our plan to ensure that the issues which appear without the Red Youth or Woman Worker supplements are twelve page issues instead of the ten-page issues that we have been forced to cut back to.

This will mean that every issue each week carries 12 Once we have this we can then consider how to Red Youth and achieved begin to run the Woman Worker papers as completely separate papers, giving Socialist Press those vital extra four pages that the supplements at present take up.

We would like therefore to urge all our readers to consider joining those in. Yorkshire who have agreed to make out a bankers order.

Write to us for a bankers order form or collect one from your own bank and make it payable to the Workers' Socialist League, Co-operative Bank, Northampton Branch, PO Box 34, 47/49 St. Giles Street, Northampton NNI 1JQ. The clearing code is 08-9073 and the account number is 5023090153.

We are also glad to receive donations to our fund which should be sent to:

Nationally organised, the disputes committees can stop every port in the country. And that's the way to win the claim for 25% more on the £64 basic rate and better overtime pay.

Pickets to stop anything going in or out of the ports would hit the bosses hard and quickly. Support could be won from dockers and lorry drivers.

That way, the shipowners could rapidly be brought to their knees. And this could provide a breakthrough for the whole labour movement on the wages front.
