Scope and content
In June of 1941, the Tacoma Times did a bit of investigative journalism, travelling around Tacoma snapping pictures proving that saboteurs could strike a paralyzing blow against Tacoma's booming defense business. The photographs ran on the front page June 26, 1941 under the headline "Tacoma Should Guard Its War Industry Against Attacks of Saboteurs!" As proof they offered five photographs. Here a "raider" is setting a bomb to blast the Northwest Machine Works building, where defense work was underway. (T. Times 6/26/1941, pg. 1)
