EROL Note: This PL Internal Bulletin was produced in response to the split which led to the creation of the Party for Workers Power. We have omitted from the EROL version of this document the last names of PL members that appeared in the printed version, except for those leaders who were generally known publicly. For background information on the split descibed in this text see Chapter 7 of Jim Dann and Hari Dillon’s The Five Retreats: A History of the Failure of the Progressive Labor Party.
