Scope and content
In June of 1941, Tacoma was involved heavily in the defense industry, even though America had not yet entered the war. The Tacoma Times did a little investigative reporting, sending a team out in the black of night to see if they could "sabotage" these industries. They were very successful, and the the proof was in the pictures run on the front page of the June 26, 1941 Tacoma Times. This picture, which was not used, shows a Times employee actually damaging a piece of machinery used in defense work. (T. Times 6/26/1941, pg. 1)
