AGAINST THE WITCH-HUNT!

Party affiliates, and individdals.

DO I ise anything efficiently if all and sundry turn up?' Different union branches sent in £125 sponsor money and names: they were looking for participation. Only three marchers from Sheffield got trade union sponsorship direct.

The only way to solve unemployment is to have a socialist party in parliament. anise themselves into demo ariunions, not a CP front, and by sheer numbers they should be able to worry enough politicians to get something done. AFTER leaving Wakefield, we marched to Barnsley, stopping at North Gawber colliery before marching into Barnsley for a reception at the NUM headquarters. Thursday: spent in Barnsley. Trips organised to the as yet uncompleted centre for the unemployed, Lyons Bakery and Shaws carpet factory.

It was encouraging to experience the strength of the union at Lyons. The workforce had made a collection for the march.

While in Barnsley we stayed at Nörthern College. The students were fully in support of the march.

From Barnsley to Rotherham through Wombwell for symbolic foot-washing by local church people, and stopping at Manvers colliery.

In Rotherham: met up with the Humberside leg, and the next day walked to Sheffield. The march was split into two, and our ley passed Kirth Derihon, where the workers have been oceupying for five weeks Even on strike, they collected for us, although I feel we should have collected for them.

On joining with the other leg we marched into Sheffield, followed by about 3000 supporters. The reception in Sheffield was tremendous, and finished with a rally on the steps of the Town Hall.

On Saturday we went into Sheffield, leafleted, and helped with Sheffield women's groups and unions who had stalls around the themes of women's unemployment.

The Humberside leg, when we split up, passed GKN Shardlow, where the workers were threatened with suspension if they came out in support of the march.

All along our route this week, the support from workers, the unemployed, pensioners, and in fact most people we passed, has been very strong, and therefore most uplifting - although it does make me question the funding of the march when we collect money from the unemployed and pensioners who can obviously barely afford it.

IN THE rush for the election.

don't forget this year's Labour Party conference.

The deadline for resolutions is July 8. Normally • June. But now most regular wards would discuss them in June ward meetings will be cancelled.

Make sure your ward organises a special meeting in June to discuss resolutions in time to go through the GC for the conference schedule.

The last Socialist Organiser delegate meeting decided to back model resolutions from the Labour Committee on Ireland, the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy lits resolution on the 'Greenwich amendment' and the constitutional amendment to clause 9), an‹ I the Labour Campaign for 7 Gay Rights. There will also be a SO model resolution on incomes policy.

Also: the closing date for payment of affiliation fees is • June 10. Make sure your CLP treasurer doesn't miss it, or you lose your vote!
