"Girls Wanted" by H. J. Glintenkamp:
Today, the Democrats who are making the president, they will caucus in Nevada. Next Saturday, they will have a primary in South Carolina.
Today, the Republicans who are making the president, they will have a primary in South Carolina. Tuesday, they will caucus in Nevada.
See! The parties, they are totally different!
Oh, praise the good, 40 million copies sold in 1960.
All types of discrimination in America are frowned on by either liberals or conservatives.
Racism, sexism and other types of discrimination still exist, but not without vocal resistance from broad swaths of society.
Except for one. Classism.
You can still discriminate against people for being too poor and few will complain.
This evening's music features blues guitarist and singer Freddie King. Enjoy!

New York, New York - Agreements Reached in Needle Workers Strike But Arrests Continue
From the Pittsburgh Daily Post:
Agreement Signed by
Garment Workers
-----NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-An agreement was signed today which it is believed will end the needle workers' strike in this city. It is expected that a majority of the 40,000 strikers will return to work within a few days, although some of the independent manufacturers have not signed the agreement.
The principal features of the agreement provide for "a preferential union shop," a working week of six days, with an aggregate of not more than 49 hours, and a maximum overtime of four hours, and a provision that Mayor Mitchel's council of conciliation shall be the final court of resort on any differences which may arise.
