issuing public statement. In which
they said:
'It is apparent to us that the
present wave of strikes is engineered
from Moscow and that it is a delib-
crate effort to take over the Amer
ican Government step by step"
The one important strike actually
In effect when the statement was
made was that of the General Mo-
tors employees. The basic issue was
one of wages-how much of an in
crease should be granted by the COM
pany. The company thought IL per
cent was enough. The workers Or
ganization declared 80 per cent was
necessary. When the strike had pro-
gressed to the point where the public
had reason to have ideas on the sub
tect, DR.. Gallup sampled the popula-
ton and found the public favoring a
IS per cent increase. Then fact
finding board appointed by the
President examined the data avail
able and recommended a ia per
cent increase. The workers agreed
to that The company refused to do
so. The strike continued.
Where Does Moscow Come In?
Now at just what point did Moscow
get in the "engineering" mentioned
by the two Southern statesmen? Was
1t at the very outset when the COM
pany, in keeping with national
policy, reverted to the 40-hour week
and thereby cut deeply into the
workers take-home pay? Did Moscow
persuade the company to do this in
order to stir up discomfort? Or was
1t at the point when the union lead
ers agreed on 80 per cent as a good
bargaining figure and the 100000
workers decided by secret ballot to
support the leaders? Or did Moscow
really show it's hand when tens of
thousands of workers in related in
dustries began walking off the job
despite the urgent pleading Of the
union leaders that they remain at
work?
Could 1t be that Moscow had
reached the citizens sampled by DR.
Gallup before the poll-takers got
around, and 6hat Moscow told the
Presidents fact-finders that ia per
cent would be reasonable figure?
You have to believe that some
or all of these things are true if
you are disposed to take any stock
in the bumptious blithering of the
two Senators.
"Characteristically American"
The simple fact is that the strike
Of the GIN workers-and the same
goes for most of the other strikes
have been as characteristically
American as baseball or ham and
eggs. The workers want more pay.
That is a natural American desire.
They think they can get it by
striking. That Is an established
American custom. Employers want
the largest possible profits. Moth
ing un-American about that. PROFITS
depend in part on wages and en-
ployers pay the least required to
obtain efIicient labor. Nothing I'm
American about that.
So we have strikes, lots Of them.
We don't pay much attention to
them unless they affect us person.
ally. This happens sometimes be-
cause of the large number of work
ers involved and sometimes because
a public service is curtailed or cut
off. 1t happens also sometimes be-
cause of price increases resulting
from wage increases.
Since the war ended we've had
such a rash Of strikes or threatened
strikes that the peacetime prosper
ity on which we had counted is be-
ginning to vanish like a desert
mirage. They have become a ma
tional, not a local, problem. Into

PAROLE BOARD

a month he would be free-free. He'd
be with his people-and his horses.
I'll never come back here" he said
firmly. I've had my lesson. Thank

left the room. He was only 10. And
he'd been in Monroe more than two
years for burglary.

sounded outside in the hall The door
opened again, impelled by the eager
hope of another who faced the board
for release.

sentences for new inmates.
But no matter what the race, previous
social position, crime, or institutional
record of the applicants, they were
treated with unfailing kindness and
consideration by Downer and Fitz-
gerald, by Ryan and Stillman, as
they heard their stories. Sitting in on
the hearings, it seems to this writer the
most striking thing was the changed
approach to penology which has come
to this state with the advent of the
board headed by John J. Quine of Sc
attic. He, together with Mr. Downer
of Bellingham and Jack Fitzgerald of
Spokane, have worked out a procedure
which gives every inmate of peniten-
tiary and reformatory their full, free
day in court but more, they have
sympathy and understanding which
gives all the breaks to those who
have clashed with the law only to be
thrown for loss
AT the Monroe hearing it was evi-
dent at once how quickly the nervous
applicants were put at ease by the soft
spoken Downer and the kindly Fitz-
gerald. But more than this, the care
fully worked out system, the social
thought which has been put into the
mnutely worked out system of rehabil-
itation, are SO obvious that the result
is a plan which takes its place as one
of the most enlightened in American
penology, and reflects the insistence of
Governor Mon c. Wallgren this state
move its penal practices out of the
Dark Ages into the light of present
knowledge and humanitarianism
One of the key points in the system
is filled by Walt Stilman. No parole is
granted unless the applicant has
home to which to 90, or sustaining en-
ployment upon release. Since few of
the boys have homes, it is Stillmans Job
as parole planner to find Jobs for pros
pective PAROLES. This is not always
easy. There are prejudice and fear on
the part of employers. Yet somehow
Stillman finds spots for his boys -
in whom he seems to take an almost
fatherly interest.
The overall penal and parole prob
lem, never simple, has been vastly COM
plicated in this state by the war with
its attendant muShrooming of indus
tries in the region. Young men were
recruited in every section of the nation
and brought to the Dupont works at
Hantord to Boeing in Seattle, and to
