threw out picket lines and would not
allow freight to be moved. They
threatened to beat up anyone who

He told of a meeting of 200 men
at Clarkla. Idaho, at which an organ

"I asked them if they would come
back to work. Wallace said they

As long as we spend warftefully, Germany will receive si
lent but powerful help from America; just so much farther
away is the Day of Peace.
Don’t spend thoughtlessly or unnecessarily. Savel With
high wages and plenty of work for everyone there never was i
