The Wobblies of those days, like
the American high level, precision
bombers of today, didn't believe in
wasting any ammunition. They had
the idea that the best plan was to
land one good shot right in the vitals.
The difference comes in that while
the American bombers appear to be
highly successful and likely to win
the argument with the British, the
| Wobblies didn't click and never were
more than fair sized irritant in the
skin of the economic body.
Most folks now have completely
forgotten the Wobblies and the names
of their leaders are not more than the
fog shrouded names of petty chiefs.
What vogue they had was mainly
in the west, which more than once has
rebelled against the ideas of the east,
with an impatience that was at times
gloriously daring, but that hasn't
worked itself up to permanency. Gen
orally it has burned out and given way
to the greater weight of eastern Geo.
nomic dominance.
1t is quit probable, nay, almost sure,
that the boys who are plotting the big
areial destroyers over France, Ger
many and Italy never heard of the
precision shot tactics of those early
industrial zealots.
But that doesn't matter They are
on the target and they are blasting
the everlasting daylights out of the
industrial cities of enemy territory.
Equipped with the marvellous Nor
den bombsight, with which a bombar-
der can lay an egg on the tip of a
spike, they sail in and lay waste to
the vital spots in great industrial
plants, rendering them hors du COM
bat, as. a famous headline once de-
scribed a certain not-famous demise.
When the cost in bomber losses
seem high, it must be remembered
that the achievements are enormous.
1t may take scores of bombs, yes hun
dreds, to box in an area, but only one
to put the heart to sleep. So, losses
cannot be evaluated on numbers of
planes engaged, but upon enemy effec-
tiveness destroyed.
And that, too, is how the Wobbies
would have figured it.-CMW.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

thinking of depression, some of social
revolution and others think there will
be only planned readjustment to
post-victory conditions. If you prefer
steady job at good union wages to
a lineup on WPA, you better think
about it now.
Every war has it's profit hungry
price manipulators, who like leeches
get between the producer and the
consumer and milk them for every
last cent. Who has heard of manipu-
lator when the purchasing power is
low. Every dog has his day, they say.
Loan sharks would never permit
such prosperity among the people if
they had their way. They welcome
hard times. The minute the people pay
their debts they make it hard for the
loan shark.
Officials are estimating that 1943
profits, after present taxes, will
amount to about $6,OO0,OO0,OOO, or
1870 more than they did in 1912. Ex-
cluding those corporations showing a
deficit and including only those who
make profit, 1943 profits are ex-
pected to reach S7,500,0O0,00O. Mil
lions of workers earn less than $35 a

ORGANIZED LABOR will not fall
Oter now. The game is not over.
The toughest part of the fight is just
ahead, when everything depends on
the support given the boys who are
going out to fight and die for the pres
ervation of our way of life, for the
salvation of freedom without which
Democracy and Unionism cannot live.
Postwar and post-victory planning
is all the rage. Everybody and his sis
ter is charting Americas tomorrows.
Some are even bold enough to chart
the future of the whole world. There
are almost as many plans as there
are planners. The result is that the
proportion of blueprints and specifica-
tions are more or less crackpots. They
have no relationship with the realities
that will confront US in the future.
The old saying is that money al
ways talks. Now it can and does fight.
When you invest it in war bonds it
surely will fight for the good old
u. S. A. So put your money to work.
War workers, servicemen, business
men and civic leaders are all thinking
about what will happen to US when
victorious American bugles sound

A possible move by Seattle
interest to keep more shipping
away from Tacoma was reveal
ed innocently Wednesday in a
Seattle newspaper story which
told of formation of a long
shoreman's labor pool.
Steve Reay, business agent
of Tacoma longshoremen, knew
nothing about the pool although
the Seattle story said Tacoma
was included. Reay did state
there had been moves TO grant
Tacoma longshoremsn tempo
rary permits to work on Seattle
docks but that nothing official
had come of it yet.
Announcement of the forma-
ton of the labor pool was made
by Seattle Civilian War COM
mission. which stated an ar
rangement had been made with
the Seattle longshoremen's I'M
ion to shift workers around the
territory in such ports as Grays
Harbor. Bellingham, Everett,
Tacoma and Seattle.
Since Seattle now is getting
virtually all shipping and other
ports mentioned are getting al
most none, it can be seen that
this maneuver by the Seattle
War commission could be just
another scheme to keep all
shipping in Seattle by stripping
other nearby ports of their
longshore colonies.
