Corrections  
 In Militant issue no. 26, dated July 28, there were several errors in the page 3 photobox on the coal miners' strike in Australia. The caption stated that on July 4, 300 miners on strike against Rio Tinto blocked a coal train from being loaded. One hundred workers were involved in that action; 300 took part in another successful mass picket July 7.

In the same photobox, the fourth sentence in the caption should have begun: "Workers at Rio Tinto's nearby Mt. Thorley mine are also gearing up for a fight against moves to cut 229 out of 570 jobs.." That sentence and the following one wrongly implied that these were the issues at Rio Tinto's Hunter Valley no. 1 mine, where the strike is taking place.

In Militant issue no. 25, dated July 14, the article "Thousands protest Australian fascist" also contained an error. In the sixth paragraph, the quote from Pauline Hanson should have read: "to sit down... with fair dinkum [real] Aussies and talk about what can be done."
