MERELY COMMENT
With the telephone situation com
manding the public's right eye,
The bankers are yelping like a lot
of stuck pigs,
The Trust Press about fits in the
same pen with the "stuck pigs",
And a lot of Big Business bosses
are carrying a long face around with
them.
On the other hand, the Greater Chi
cago Federation, the Woman's Party
of Cook County and many other or
ganizations are standing pat behind
the city council's action in favoring
suit to seize the Automatic.
The points that stick out are plain
endugh. See 'em?
The bankers represent the bankers.
The Trust Press represents the
Trust Press and mostly Big Business
interests.
The Big Business bosses represent
Big Business bosses.
The Greater Chicago Federation
represents some of the general pub
lic the folks who elected the council
to act for them.
The Woman's Party of Cook Coun
ty represents some of the same class.
The other organizations 'round
town represent the people and their
interests.
It's the old game the Big Busi
ness ends fighting the public.
Unless the City Council body gets
a severe case of weak backbone it
will tell the Big Business interests
and the Trust Press to do what Italy
has just done.
The only difference'' between what
that will mean and the actual act of
going to war, can be ascertained by
looking up what Sherman said war
was.
A lot of folks who have a perfectly
good vote to cast when election time
comes around are keeping an eagle
eye on their councilman during the
telephone scrap.
