| Summary: | O'Brien's notes make reference to the Party's early orators, Thomas Brady, Thomas Lyng and John Arnall ; the relationship between the Irish Socialist Republican Party and the Socialist Labour Party of America ; O'Brien's dealings with the Dublin Trades Council ; and the dock workers' strike in Belfast. In his letter to O'Brien, Connolly writes that Larkin "does not seem to want a demacractam [sic] labour movement; he seems to want a Larkinite movement only [...] he has us at his mercy, and is using his power unscrupously, I request to say". The letter is incomplete. |
