" Where with eur
We tell the truth
absut many things, Sometimes pre-
fsundly, sometimes Aippantly,
Sometimes recklessly.

What a world. 1t keeps on being
nothing else but.
Spain has rebellion. The old re-
dictionaries can't win with votes or
argument so they start shooting.
Here at home Remington Rand
keeps on thinking thoughts just like
those of the Spanish grandees who
have lost their power.
A Judge limits pickets to four at
time.
And we do not know whether some
who planned to buy Remington Rand
office equipment have changed their
mind, after looking at the company's
policy.
There is strife in the land and a
good dead of it is in the interest of
economic public health.
In many manufacturing plant the
private guards may right now be in
specting and cleaning the rifles and
stacking the gas bombs.
Shell oil Tin California; is trying to
make company union wear the look
of the real thing. 1t doesn't work, of
course. At Wood river another mem
Der of the same Shell family is doing
the grandee stunt.
Bourbonism dies hard, whether in
royal family or in another
And labor sticks to its guns.
There are strikes that have been
on as long as six months and the
picket lines have been maintained
through every day of that time.
One new thing in the world right
now is the increasing militancy of
labor
And business, more prosperous than
at any time in six years, doesn't know
why it is prosperous and is willing to
wiring the neck of the maternal pro-
ducer of the golden egg, which has
always been goose to expect UNDER
standing or any kind Of decency from
big business.
And while the world rolls along
| in its turmoil the new French gov
ernment nationalizes its munitions
plants, telling the world that muni-
tions plants loot the very nations they
are supposed to protect, as if we didn't
know it.
But that's the trouble. WE know it,
but WE don't do anything about it.
And we even suffer the indignity
of a spectacle in which ADMIRALS
go into the halls of congress and
lobby FOR the munitions makers and
the shipbuilders, these two being all
in one family.
There are plenty of Americans
plenty of American workers, sad to
say, who serve reaction, in one guise
or another.
Some go down the river just for
fun, or in ignorance; and some sell
themselves down the river for a price.
What world.
But it is world trying to get bet
ter. The agony is terrible. The blum
ders are pretty terrible sometimes.
The battles are fearsome and the
losses are staggering.
But here and there gains are made.
] Strikes are Won The steel indus
try doesn't want to get too doggoned
swell headed.
Big business is lining up for great
struggle which it hopes will smash
labor forever. That's fact. America is
in for something dramatic, something
profoundly important-as important
as the War for independence, or the
War Between the States.
1t might be good idea for the lords
and masters of Bourbonism to take a
/ look across the water before they
spend too much money on guns and
too much time in organizing mercen-
ary legions.
Something tells US that the world
is going forward and America isn't
going to be at the tail end of the
parade.
