FROM OUR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

A RENATIONALIZATION propaPlganda campaign among commercial road transport workers is being urged on the Labour Party by the Scottish Horse and Motormen's Association.

Among many resolutions on nationalization and road transport in the agenda for the Labour Party Conference beginning at Brighton on October 1, the Scottish resolution also calls on the party executive to "publish its intention on the renationalization of road haulage."

From what can be seen of present Labour thinking this call could prove highly embarrassing to the executive.

It would, however, find itself much more able to support the Scottish Association's third demand—for a probe into the working of the C and C-hiring licence system with a view to their regulation within the licensing system.

Calls for nationalization of the motor manufacturing industry come from the key centres of East Ham and Birmingham (Aston). while the Clerical and Administrative Workers Union have a resolution condemning the piecemeal dismantling" of all the nationalized industries.

A.S.L.E.F. have a resolution condemning the wide curtailment of transport services and calling on the Conference to reaffirm support for a co-ordinated and integrated system "as envisaged in the 1947 Transport Act."

The N.U.R. also calls for co-ordination and inteeration, and attacks what it calls the present Government's sole criterion of profitability.
