...measure the government received a stinging setback. At issue was a bill that would allow longshoremen-who belong to the powerful Transport and General Workers' Union, led by Jack Jones, a key supporter of the government's wage-austerity program-the right to handle cargo up to five miles away from British coastal ports. The legislation gives union members a foothold in the unloading of container shipping, which has reduced the need for longshore labor at docksides.

In point of fact, it may be concluded that the entire concatenation of events is far more indicative of the "unspoken" than many of our very intelligent, illustrious colleagues, male and female, would care to allow. A number of very important issues have been raised by this "peculiar and very petty squabble"--issues which in no way have been resolved, and which, paradoxically enough, have yet to be recognized and articulated...
