National Strike Committee says:

After twenty-two weeks of the greatest industrial struggle in New Zealand's history in which 20,000 workers have stood alone against the most vicious employers' Government seen outside [unclear: fascism], the locked-cut workers end strikers hold to the principles of unionism more tenaciously and more consciously than over.

After squandering tens of millions of money and their last remaining moral asset to smash at the heart of the New Zealand trade union movement, the employing class has failed Only the abandonment of union policy by the rank and file and the repudiation of their fighting leadership would rep-resent victory to tho employers.

But, despite their heroic stand in the face of sacrifice hardship and persecution for themselves and their families, the workers would have victory only if an aroused people had joined them to wipe out the Emergency Regulations and had compelled the shipowners and shipowners Government to negotiate.

Neither capital nor labour can claim complete victory. The issue is yet to be decided.

In this situation the maritime unions could turn their backs to the sea and leave the employers to the chaos of their own making - and to the scabs. But the ships and the wharves are the [unclear: seamens'] and the [unclear: watersiders'] own workplaces. They are the ground, together with mines, freezing works and other industries, where the battle for trade union rights must be fought and won. Now is the time for that battle to be joined. Now is the time to consolidate tho magnificent fighting unity developed during this epic struggle.

Supremely confidant of the conscious discipline of our ranks we call upon every individual member to return to work and hold up the banner of his union on tho Job.

We call upon watersiders, seamen, miners, freezing workers, drivers, and all other unionists to stand by their fellow workers in a positive fighting programme to overcome screening, hold conditions, and clean out scabbery root and branch.

In unity we have fought and in unity we return to our industries to fight again.

In twelve months it will be time to say whose is the victory! We are confident in Our strength!"

(The above resolution was carried by tho National Strike Committee on July 9, and endorsed by the Wellington Branch on July 12, 1951)

Barnes ban lifted?

As we go to [unclear: press] we learn that our "National president has been able to book the Auckland Town Hall for a meeting on Sunday week.

Apparently the authoritias in Auckland, with unhappy memories of the consequences of refusing the Hall to Walter Nash, did not consult Inspector McLennan, who never be "Bernes will never be allowed to address another meeting in New Zealand!"

The next step is radio time -

Our Future

With the return to work of the involved unions, this is the last "Look-out" edition of this Information Bulletin.

During the course of the dispute this Bulletin has been the only answer to the welter of press, radio and Government lies and distortions, and has been the only medium through which people could learn tho true foots of tho waterfront lock-out.

The look-out is over - but the lies and distortions will go on - and this Bulletin will go on too, answering the lies and continuing to bring the truth about the industrial movement to its members and to the public.

Let's have a K.O. in round two?

The great waterfront Lock-out of 1951 is now over - in its [unclear: prellianesy] stage - for the return to work of the unique involved in what will go down in history as the goat momentous industrial at struggle in New Zealand brings about the start of a now phase of that struggle.

The resignation of the Government marks the end of the first round - the sound will be decided in six weeks time at the special General Election.

The call for the resignation of the Holland Government has been, one of the [unclear: leases] at a [unclear: take] in this dispute, and it has been forced on them by the unparalleled solidarity and self-sacrifice shown by the [unclear: watersidere] and their [unclear: allies].

We have said repeatedly that the Government was groggy; that there was a wide [unclear: rift] among its followers (even among the members of Cabinet) regarding the handling of the dispute; and that they could not ignore the [unclear: widespread] protests against the [unclear: legielated] fascism of the so-called Emergency Regulations Their resignation, hard on the heels of [unclear: innumerable] statements about how the whole country was [unclear: solidly] behind their actions, proves the accuracy of our [unclear: accousmont] of the situation.

The Government had committed itself or completely to its [unclear: no] compromise role that it could not even negotiate without committing political hari-kari - the return to work of the involved unions (after inflicting what must be one of the [unclear: heaviest] [unclear: loasen] of profit ever suffered by [unclear: employerdom]) now loads the to [unclear: gramp] at the only straw in sight, in the vague and vain hope that they will be able to [unclear: ourlate] the [unclear: Menzies] Government in Australia and bluff the [unclear: electora] into giving them the chance to continue with their plans to build [unclear: feacism] in New Zealand.

Our task is now clear - we must [unclear: organise] every men and woman in the country to end the [unclear: poraecution] of the trade union movement; to remove the obnoxious Emergency Regulation; and to free our country from [unclear: tion] with the Yankeo war—[unclear: planners] - we have won a chance by [unclear: haltin] reaction - let's make sure of victory!
