It seems to me that the brasses and the wood winds are a bit #ub- ordinated, and that the bravo, hip hurrah passages are not given the masterful direction that is given the melancholy, pathetic, languish- 1 saccharine measures. no honest observer will at tempt to analyze an orchestra ike this on first hearing. And no more can the amateur music lover appreciate, or under- stand, such a work as this sym- phony of Tschaikowseky on first E hearing.

Do you know that there are very few of the eight or nine dollar a day men in the yard who are ex-service men, and do you know that ex-service men | who served at the front have just been laid off, and that wemen with hus- | bands who are getting from seven to | nine dollars a day. were not laid off? Editor The Star: The government is employing many a man and his wife at the Bremerton navy yard, and there are many other women whose husbands have jobs outside, and who are not compelled to work. Some of the navy yard women work- ers have husbands who are in business and mpking. food mone Ts this the way my “government / NAVY YARD WORKER. Editor’s Note: Uncle Sam appears to be about as much of an ingrate as some of the private employers. And Uncle Sam means all of us; a few sharp letters to the Washington delegation in congress might remedy this mess over at Bremerton. The Star doesn’t care who the employer is, whether he be Uncle Sam, or Jim Smith; any employer who keeps aliens, or women with other means of support, in jobs while ex-service men walk our streets hungry—any such employer is a rotter, either thru selfish interest, carelessness and ignorance of true conditions. We can’t, perhaps, abolish selfishness, but we can certaiuly make ignorance of the serious situation impossible. And while on this subject The Star desires to make a few terse remarks about some of these women workers generally. Women workers who live at home and work as a side issue. Women clerks who come to their jobs in autos. Married women, with fur coats and diamonds, who under- bid on meq’ s jobs and let ex-service men and their families go hungry. These sort of people deserve a nudge in the ribs of under- standing. In Seattle, at least, there isno room for the amateur job- sters, who are merely working to add some easy money for jewels and clothes to the family treasury. We have enough ready spenders already, thank you, and while those who laid their all on the altar of their country beg for jobs, and seek in vain for a chance to earn a meal ticket, every married woman with an able-bodied husband, and every woman of private means, who is working, is a menace to the nation. For if you imagine that these thousands of returned sol- diers are taking their misfortunes with a smile, and that this soil of ingratitude is not swelling some seeds of discontent that may burst forth into a crop of madness, then you are asleep indeed. There are jobs, good jobs, enough in Seattle for all who de- serve them, if only those who deserve these jobs get them.
