more card men in all kinds of trades
about the city decided TO paralyze
Seattle by a sympathetic strike. Or
sanized labor in Seattle has declared
war against society and society has
sent government troops.
Now this is all way out in Seattle
where We can read about il but can
not feel It by personal contact. II It
