Thread Name: the Little Red Songbook--I.W.W.
Subject: RE: the LITTLE RED SONGBOOK--I.W.W.
One bit of information on the State of Washington that I think is pretty humorous. One of the Secretaries of State (I think it was pre-ww2?) made a quip that we have "47 States, and the Soviet of Washington."

This has always been a Union state. Think Teamsters, Longshoremen, Machinists.
