Education  

Journal of the New South Wales Teachers’ Federation.  

Incorporating*  

FEDERATION NEWS  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, for transmission by post as newspaper.  

Volume 31, No. 17.  

NOVEMBER 10, 1950.  

Threepence.  

Defend The  

Federation Against  

Disruption  

minority organised by the "Teachers' Anti-Communist League"  

is causing disturbances at Federation meetings. Rowdiness, running  

fire of interjections, abuse and provocation are their stock-in-trade.  

Business is held up, delayed or prevented from being conducted.  

When Federation supporters react to the abuse or provocation, or if the chairman of  

the meeting disciplines one of the offenders, information, usually distorted, is taken outside,  

to the authorities or the Press. The disrupters feel secure in trusting to the decency of those  

whom they abuse, not to report them to the authorities.  

They aim to drive Federation members of long standing and supporters of Federation  

policy away from meetings. They aim to provoke such Federation members.  

It is obviously in the best interests of teachers for the Federation members of long  

standing and supporters of Federation policy not to stay away from meetings. It is in the best  

interests of teachers for such Federation members to do all possible to assist in the good  

conduct of Federation meetings.  

The disturbances created at Federation meetings form part of the general attack —  

from without and within—on effective unions.  

Such disturbances not only hamper the work to improve teachers’ conditions and  

advance the public school system, but also could lead to the destruction of the Federation.  

We therefore appeal to all Federation members who are really concerned about their  

welfare and that of their colleagues to —  

1. Attend their association meetings.  

2. Do all possible to assist the chairman to conduct meetings in the interests of the  

members.  

3. Beware of provocation.  

4. Let fellow-members at the school know what happens at meetings and convince  

them of the need to attend their association meetings.  

These are essential actions for adoption by all members who  

have the interest of the Federation at heart.  

This matter calls for your immediate and urgent attention.  

S.P. LEWIS,  

President.  

H.S. NORINGTON  

General Secretary.
