Direct Action (SWF): #01 1974

Headline "Fight repression now"

An issue of Direct Action from early 1974 including: May Day, North West textile workers, Norton-Villiers-Triumph, the lump and the union, etc.

Probably the first issue of the restarted Direct Action newsletter from the 1970s. (Previous issue may have been June 1968?).

PDF from Spirit of Revolt archive. Possibly an incomplete scan? (Last page article refers to it being continued on page 8, which is not included).
