That is good Marxist ideology, but Harry Bridges is doing no more than any other militant labor leader to hasten the end of the employing classes in his day-to-day tactics. John L.

...tall, 70-year-old Robert Edward Brooke, grandson of Matthew. President since 1933 has been hard-bitten John Edward McCauley, onetime machinist's apprentice, who states in his hoarse steelman's voice that the C. I. O. "hasn't got us yet" and that Tom Girdler is "doing a yeoman's job for all of us" (see p. 9). With total assets of $2,400,000, Birdsboro employs 800 men, had gross sales of $3,000,000 last year, net income of $233,000. The stock of this company, whose story would make a perfect Joseph...
