' It is time that the general public should understand something
of the I. W. W. strike which is now on. At first the spectacular
features of the strike interested a great many and no one heeded
the demands madefy the men in their printed circular.
Analysis of those demands shows that they are asking some
things thoroughly impossible for lumber manufacturers to give,
one of which is the release of war prisoners. It is the sheerest
folly to think that western employers can release prisoners who
were convicted of disloyalty during war times, and there is no good
reason to believe that western people want the prisoners released.
President Harding has gone deeply into tiie merits of these cases
and has released a number, including the arch-socialist, Eugene V.
fDcbs. What more clemency could be expected 1
The point of interest to La Grande and all Eastern Oregon is
the attitude being displayed in attempting to induce others than
the I. W. W. to qtiitu work. In this there has been some success
made by the strikers and the fear of being labelled 'a "scab" or of
being punished in some way tor continuing at work is the one great i i
principle which Oregon as a state must meet and meet squaiely.
Every I. W. W. member has a right to quit work.' This cannot
be denied. But no I. W. W. member has a right to force other
men to cease working when in their hearts those other men desire
to continue on their jobs.
Plainly stated, there should be and must be proper protection
for men who want lo work, and there should be no punishment at
tempted on the I. W. VV. members who do not want to work. It is
their personal privilege to lay down their tools and quit their jobs,
but it is not their privilege to plead with others, resort to coersion
mi intimidation to make other men' follow them in their chosen
idleness. ;

in congregations and membership there is progress. Greater ad-i',1'
vancenient might be possible but so lung as there is increase the!
movement is in the right direction. .
.! When not membership but constituency is considered the fig
ures are swelled greatly. Constituency includes those with inelii-.-ntions
towaid some religious organization but not actively or form
ally connected. Such may not be recognizable in their daily prac
tice but who in the supreme test turn toward a particular cimi
lhunion. The constituency in fact is equal to the formal inei'i7.
Iiership.
The damage dune by the World War to the moral sensibilities
of men seems thus in process of being repaired, l'ossibly the most
untoward feature of the situation lies in that actual membership
does not denote active, persistent interest in the furtherance of
the church. A percentage at least is passive and only incidentally
concerned for the woi Ill's regeneration. Vet, on the whole, the
showing" is cheering, the mine so since the country has heard so
much of the opposite view.
