Submitted by JekyllnHyde on Thu, 08/04/2016 - 9:49pmIf a war resulting in tens of millions of casualties can be described as such, over the years World War II came to be known as the "Good War" for much of the Western world. It is often said that the victors of a war, any war, write its history. This is almost always true with perhaps one major exception.

Bread & Roses: Protest Songs that parody oppressive religion
Submitted by Gerrit on Sat, 04/02/2016 - 6:30amI so enjoyed the comments and great music that c99 folks posted on last weekend's Bread and Roses article. This weekend, let's have some fun with religion parody songs. It's been a helluva week and we could use a bit of a giggle. First off, Phil Ochs' classic definition of protest music. See below.

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.
