In short the bill says to Civil
Servants:
You have already no right to
strike.
Hereafter you shall not influence
the House Of Commons, which is
your employer.
You shall not associate with out
side workers. even tho their con-

ever you try to improve your own.
You must place yourself COM

THE Civil Service, if it can be con.
Atrolled properly, is valuable, in fact
an almost indispensable part, Of the
capitalist machine. Like the army

a permanent section of the capitalist

on the instability of British capital
ism that the ruling class finds il
necessary to attempt to enact such
stringent measures for separating
these workers from the rest of the
working class and the labor move
ment. That it does not hesitate tc
make this attempt, at the price of q

to join any union other than one
composed entirely of similar civil
servants is instant discharge.

following to say about this section of
the bill:
"If the bill goes thru, Service
Associations will either have to be-
come outlaw organizations or alter
their constitutions to conform to
the bill. If they choose the latter
course (as the only alternative to
sheer impotence) the results would
be:
