Uncorrected machine reading. This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.
How this article was cut and titled: headline found by type size in the OCR geometry (split_tabloid.py); 1-2 of 7; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

Right now Socialist Action is in the firing line. Our limited resources are being strained to the limit as we fight back against the employers' and Fleet Street's witch hunt.
Our phone bills are shooting up. Our costs are increasing as we use more cash sending our reporters to get the truth course there is no way we can possibly hope to match the machine at Fleet Street. But we do have to make an effort to get out the real facts and unless we have the money that is impossible.
And unless we can raise some extra money then the employers' press wins the day. That is why we are asking you to rush in a donation immediately.
We need every single reader to give us something and we need every penny they can afford.
All money and cash to Socialist Action, 328 Upper Street, London N.1. about Cowley. Of Unions. lie • becomes
