On page four there is an interesting poem by “A Boeing Worker.” It is, as the author states, “A reply to foreman Leo Butler's verse in the ‘Boeing News’,” a com- pany house organ. This worker shows how verse can be employed by the toilers as a weapon in the struggle against the bosses. In 12 lines there is packed, in simple language, an exposure and indict- ment of the boss, the N.R.A., the slimy tricks of the company, and @ comparison between golden prom- ises and worsened conditions.
