Strike Called Aid to Kaiser Gle In Wartime Call
A wartime column urges universal service with 30,000,000 needed at home to aid the 3,600,000 already abroad in the fight for liberty. It condemns Kaiser loyalists and profiteers, praises labor for sacrifice, and notes Labour Day plans where shops will extend effort and pay to support those fighting. The piece contrasts right makes might with might makes right and calls every man to contribute even on holidays.
