W.E.A. RAILWAY CLASS

TO THE EDITOB

Sir, —“ Suspicion ” writes resenting the omission to mention my name in the report of two meetings of the W.E.A. railway class. One can understand his suspicion. He did not know, of course, that I had myself written the report. If I had splashed my name through it he and others might have felt that here was a frightfully egotistical tutor. If any apology is due, it is not, I think, for my anonymity, but for my failure to give any account of the excellent contributions from class members to the discussion on *‘ Employers’ Views on Workers’ Control." One ' had, however, to have some regard for the newspaper’s considerations of space. As it was, it was generous. It was good enough, also, to publish a belated report of a meeting held a week earlier. I explained in a note that I had been too busy to do this report earlier, but that it should be of interest. I was particularly anxious td have this report of “ employers’ views ” published as your paper had been kind enough to print the account of our discussion on “ workers’ views.” A W.E.A. tutor works nearly 80 hours a week, and relies on the generosity of newspapers occasionally to overlook belated reporting.—l am, etc., John A. Brailsford, Organising Tutor, W.E.A.
