of America should have the benefits Very amusing
when realize that these people, should
pressure groups Chg Business and Reactonary Press

today Government Agency in America admits that living
cost has increased from 1886 until now least 7o yet not
has Congress Others who shouting raising

gains made through contracts 1t is just too bad that
all OF us who are forced to work for living and who fight for
real social the workers can't the SUPP
port of all those who benefit and willing accept these
many gains win them 1t is too bad they can't be
singled out and said to- here not in favor of
person though fought against
wasn't for it he would still take it Well we
for everyone though unfortunately don't have the
support of all those who stand to gain by it.
