In tha future struggles of the working class, there is much that will have to be brought back from the past. Newscestie and District Council understands thi very well. They have decided to revive The Workers Chroni cle, the paper produced by the Trades Council during the General Strike of 1925 A Trades Council representative sid that *It a baing brought back because me think things are graduatly drifting towands those dim, dark days. We want to try to keep trade unionists in the picture."

The Trades Councit secratary said that The council believes the present indis trial and political dimate calls for the trade union movement to make maru effective use of its strength by working in solidarity to preserve and progress its rauction and capitalism. A Workars Chronice would counter the mass media which, by its very nature of control, maintains a persistent propaganda war against the trade unions.' By following the example of Newcastle Trades Council, the working class today can avoid some of the difficulties created by the lack of foresight and preparation which was o feature of the general strike of 1926.
