Fix this textWhen Federation supporters react to the abuse or provocation, or if the chairman of
Fix this textthe meeting disciplines one of the offenders, information, usually distorted, is taken outside,

Fix this textwhom they abuse, not to report them to the authorities.
Fix this textThey aim to drive Federation members of long standing and supporters of Federation
Fix this textpolicy away from meetings. They aim to provoke such Federation members.
Fix this textIt is obviously in the best interests of teachers for the Federation members of long
Fix this textstanding and supporters of Federation policy not to stay away from meetings. It is in the best
Fix this textinterests of teachers for such Federation members to do all possible to assist in the good
Fix this textconduct of Federation meetings.
Fix this textThe disturbances created at Federation meetings form part of the general attack —
Fix this textfrom without and within—on effective unions.
Fix this textSuch disturbances not only hamper the work to improve teachers’ conditions and
Fix this textadvance the public school system, but also could lead to the destruction of the Federation.
Fix this textWe therefore appeal to all Federation members who are really concerned about their
Fix this textwelfare and that of their colleagues to —
Fix this text1. Attend their association meetings.
Fix this text2. Do all possible to assist the chairman to conduct meetings in the interests of the
Fix this textmembers.
Fix this text3. Beware of provocation.
Fix this text4. Let fellow-members at the school know what happens at meetings and convince
Fix this textthem of the need to attend their association meetings.
Fix this textThese are essential actions for adoption by all members who
Fix this texthave the interest of the Federation at heart.
Fix this textThis matter calls for your immediate and urgent attention.
