The Newcastle police have arrested Lambert Heaton Lee, aged 28 years, a civil engineer, a South African, and Anglo Rosalie Keen, aged 29 years, both of whom were subsequently charged in camera with conspiring to further an illegal strike. They were remanded in custody the police refusing bail. The I.L.P. conference has carried a resolution condemning the arrest of Lee and Keen and the in camera proceedings. The resolution added: “Tlie purpose of the policy of arrest and the prospect of arrest and : prosecution is to turn the eyes of public workers from the failure of the Government to, cope in any competent way with the evils of the capitalist conditions. The conference warns the Government that the policy on which it appears to have embarked will only strengthen unrest. Mr McGovern, ALP., speaking on the resolution declared that it was no accident that arrests were carried out. They were the thin end of the wedge to drive out of Britain small groups that would become powerful organisations of the future.
