Was not THEIR government on
the job-federaI inspectors as well as
city policemen right at the dock
seeing that laWs-for the protection of
the lives of passengers and crew were
rigidly enforced?
Well, the people took it for granted
as they take much for granted con-
corning the law and it's enforcement.
And the inspection, the law and
the entire governmental machinery
wasn't worth tinker's dam until the
Eastland had turned turtle and
dumped her precious, trusting hui
