DINNINGTON Branch of the : Yorkshire NUM at a branch meeting on 27th September passed a resolution calling on the Yorkshire • NUM Executive to mobilise full support for the workers at Laurence Scott. The resolution, which called for continuing financial support, for blacking of Mining Supplies and for support for any picketing, was presented as an emergency resolution to the last Area Council meeting.

The resolution was ruled out of order on the grounds that the AUEW had informed the Yorkshire Area NUM that it was satisfied with what the Area had done and that as all the other factories in the group were working the NUM could do nothing until they started to move.

Arthur Scargill's attitude all along the line.
