Some--A Joke

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Mr. O'Connor's doubt about the ability of the unemployed, the San Francisco dock strikers, etc. to laugh, is unduly pessimistic. I walked across the Embarcadero in San Francisco last July, while the tear gas guns were popping, and at least 1,250 striking longshoremen were laughing their sides off, apparently because a policeman had fallen off his horse and had shot himself with his own tear gas gun.

Furthermore, I have seen an authentic case of an unemployed man laughing in Union Square. He was laughing at some college boys who were demonstrating for the unemployed. Persons also hold themselves ready to make affidavits stating that they have seen Mr. O'Connor laugh.

But not enough. A. J. Lynd '32.
