COUNCIL OF HAVING NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM.
On the contrary, Seattle labor unionists, who
believe in preparedness should enthusiastically wei
come the opportunity to parade.
Why?

bound 10 be carried out a national policy.
And il is up labor unions TO participate active

democratic preparedness preparedness that is con-
