AN ARGUMENT

AN ARGUMENT
So help me folks had just about made up my mind to
skip the Toledo IncomePayro write skilled
about the birds and bees flowers when occurred
to that customers might like unbiased of
the argument that has been going last January
At this particular moment it looks like the Toledo daily
newspapers have up argument
Today safe the Blade
AS matter of fact my opinion and who cares) that
the Toledo Blade has most excellent job adding
heat light to the ISSUE which
the objective free press sneerng
reference the big shots doesn't fool too people whose
reasonably reliable the
fact that the Toledo by stretch the
imagination be called small business"
Make mistake about ii, the Toledo Blade and Toledo
Times BIG BUSINESS and even though the Blade takes
side swpes the Toledo Chamber of Commerce the
wealthy ndustriaists who reside (not ive) in Ottawa Hills
it does so with its tongue in cheek.
Honestly customers believe me- the Toledo
at Mr. Big matter who he is You prove this for your
self by reading the large amount of advertising in the Toledo
Blade from big business Remember the General Motors ads
National Association Manufacturers full page
isemens? Remembering that newspapers byproduct
the Toledo Blade isn't preudced against any individual
poraon which holding the old Honestly they're not
TWO SIDES
In my limited experience once saw somewhat similar
that of the Toledo Blade and Times where both
ownership and control rested in the hands of
The morning paper was almost the point of being
reactonary and you guessed M Republican whereas the
ming paper LIBERAL and (again right Democratic
While the Toledo Blade and Times do not quite reach the
point of opposite political extremes is not far from the
comparison make when the evening endorses
few Democrats gently ribs the Toledo Chamber
and he ndustrialss who reside (no lve) in Ottawa
Hills the Toledo Times beats the drum for the
and votes straight Republican ticket.
OF course all the Johnny Overalls stupid couldn't
possibly that the daily trying both
against the middle particularly the Toledo
newyfound liberalism gay flying out the window when
a local labor leader actually leads
HOLD NO BRIEF
Nobody tell that Dick Gosser isn't leader that
he isn't doing the thing that the workers in this town
perchance
currcular to supplement their incomes.
Nobody need tell that Dick Gosser is human
But in the of his stand the income tax
certainly wrong and the people of Toledo will prove
when the income payroll tax ordinance is voted
To say that Dick Gosser is opportunist who taking
the popular of the natural dislike of the
taxation emphatcally true If Dick Gosser to
take the popular side and opportunst had plenty
side he took the side to which he committed officer
of his Union Stood sometimes almost alone his fight
for the things which he believed to be right.
Obviously the ncomepayrol tax has itself fine
opportunity for the daily in than
not only headlines to take the place of the but
gives newspapers opportunity tell
Shots we're other big shots because we're big
shots too We not half interested in avaging the
roll tax in sapping down labor which getting too
these days Besides think what it will to
Toledo Tomorrow"
And folks the battle joined of it will
tain lessons certainly the people who still have
idea that they get along without consulting labor Again
want to say that will continue ourselves whats
with Toledo until such time that all the segmens of this
city realize that labor must be taken into
full partnership in all the affairs which effect its destiny
Toledo faces tough situation because of the failure of
The tax to don't blame labor Blame the
stupid egoS who think they alone the who make this
town tick.
