Serving the North since 1832 The quality of mercy RECONCILIATION cannot come easily after such a long and bitter dispute as the pit strike. It is no surprise that there is precious little sign of letting bygones be bygones, among miner or management. The protagonists at the sharp end of the conflict have a much harder conception of the issues arising from the return-to-work than well-meaning outsiders ev In recent weeks. pressure to soften the aggressive postures adopted by the NCB and the NUM has made little impression. Judges, churchmen, lawyers.

magistrates and M.P sitting on a House of Commons select committee have all called on the Coal Board to take a more conciliatory line on miners sacked during and after the dispute, especially when they have been cleared by a court on charges arising from the strike. Of some 1,000 miners dismissed nationwide, only 414 have been reemployed but there are wide regional variations. None have been given their jobs back in Scotland, whereas 127 out of 230 sacked men have been re-employed in the North-East area of the NCB. Any employer, however, has a right to retbse to accept back staff who have transgressed the organisation's internal disciplinary code. So the Board is perfectly justified in turning its back on some men, even though they may have been found not guilty of a criminal charge.

Evidence that may be insufficient to secure a court conviction could be more than enough to establish in an employees mind that an individual was guilty of misconduct. Hard-line attitude Emotional appeals will not sway the Coal Board indeed. magnanimity is not a quality much seen from NCB chairman lan MacGregor. The strike was not fought by Marquis of Queensberry rules, so the defeated side could not expect to receive mercy from a forgiving victor. All the indications are that the NCB is nut to capitalise, as quickly as possible, on the upper hand it has gained over its archenemy Arthur Scargill.

Pits will be closed. probably at an accelerated rate, and the Board's desire to recover from the losses inflicted by the strike will leave no room for compassion for individual pitmen who feel they have been denied justice. Possibly the only factor which may temper the Board's hard-line attitude towards the sacked men would be a realistic calculation on how many defeats they might suffer at a series of industrial tribunals. The publicity that could accrue from numerous ex-pitmen winning legal backing for being re-employed could sway some area directors' attitudes though bookmakers would not offer good odds, we suspect. The Board's priority is to take advantage of a divided and defeated opposition, not to worry too much about its public image as a benevolent body.

But there is room for the Board to be seen to be fair, without looking weak. However, that kind of leniency will not be encouraged while NUM leaders insist on harking back to the glory of the struggle not a lot of comfort can be found in repeated beating of the head against a brick wall.

But Alan Marshall (long a collaborator with director Alan Parker) looks like deisig it osmin with his latest presentation.

NORMAN DAVISON reports. WE don't make flippant movies, says British producer Alan Marshall. "We make emotional movies." And he qualifies that by adding that if the films are criticised for their storylines, nobody could ever criticise them for what they look like or for what their professional attitude to film making is. And he agrees that there are certain areas which are taboo for him, not so much the cost, but matters and problems to do with shooting in which everyone is consulted as. "they have as much right.

Alan Parker read it and noted: "I'd like to do this. but how!" It took rise years for two young American cameramen turned script writers, Sandy Kroopf and Jack Behr to turn the uafllmable novel into a film script. The reason for this was that in the novel, the heart of the story goes on in Birdy's brain as it tries to erase the horrors of war he saw by transferring the searing human emotions into the comparitive freedom of the bird world. Flying free, as it were. 1 Al.
