Today's Round -Up
By MALCOLM EPLEY
FAIR-MINDED people, seeking to establish
straight line of thought on the critical
labor situation in this country, are confronted
with a vast confusion of emo
tions, principles, and informa
tion, plus a strong suspicion
that a lot is going on under
the surface that they don't
know about,-
Public opinion in this coun
try "' unquestionably strongly
believes in the right of work-
ing people to decent wages
and working conditions, and
the right of every man to
. aiek through everv legitimate
means to better his economic EPLEY
lot In life. That is all straight American.
Strikes, to achieve those ends when they
have been denied by more moderate methods,
are generally believed justified. We have heard
hard-boiled industrialists defend the workers'
right to strike for better wages and working
conditions, and oppose proposals for outlawing
strikes. The public interest demands that
every fair safeguard against the extremity
of striking should be established, but the actual
outlawing of strikes that deal directly with
wages, hours and working conditions does not
seem to be the answer.
a a
Different Kind Of Strike
THERE occurred the other day an example of
another type of strike that arouses far
greater concern, among thinking people, than
a great strike which is based directly on such
matter as wages. '
As the story comes to us, the city of New;
York was considering the sale of certain city
owned " power plants. The transit workers
union (CIO) opposed the sale, which certainly
was Its right, but the method it used to express
its opposition was most questionable.
It threatened a city-wide transit strike, which
would have tied up transportation pretty gen
erally in the great city. It demanded that the
sale of the power plants be submitted to the
people for referendum, as the price for calling
off the proposed strike. The mayor gave in
to the union on this demand.
In New York, as elsewhere, the legal pro
cesses for requiring a referendum on public
action are well established. These are the
methods that are open to every citizen or group
of citizens. For a union to threaten to tie up a
city's transportation system, rather than to use
these constitutional methods of appealing to
or forcing the hands of the authorities, carries
implications of grave significance. We do not
believe union members generally, if they fully
understood them, would support such' union
, actions.
This is an illegitimate motive for strike that
alienates public opinion from the union cause
and creates sentiment for outlawing all strikes,
regardless of the worthiness and propriety of
their purpose.

MADRID, Jan. 26 W) Generalissimo Franco
is quick to combat any suggestion that his
government is backward in political reform. As
I found during my interview with him In the
palace where he resides at El Pardo, near
Madrid.
Of course the term "backward" is relative.
Progress which would seem slow in one country
might be regarded as good going in another.
Apropos of this matter of speed, I had asked
Franco if he was headed for absolute democ
racy, that is, rule by the people, and he had
replied: .
"Yes. But we must proceed slowly step
by step until the people are properly pre
pared." I introduced the question by saying the im
pression abroad, tight or wrong, is that very
little has been done towards political reform
in Spain a purposely blunt approach to the
subject, I suggested that it would be very
useful if the generalissimo could clear up this
matter.
Lived A Great Deal
AITH much pleasure," he responded,
VV "although it is very difficult for peo
ple to be able to interpret the facts about
others without knowing the situation and events
which went before. The United States is a
young and new country in political life. Spain
has lived a great deal of political life and lived
it very rapidly.
"It was almost a century and a half ago that
it (Spain) began to adopt democratic forms and
it has passed through all the stages: the tran
quil stages with two great parties, the following
stages when it became impossible to govern
because-of the breaking up of those two parties
into 15 or 20, the eruption into politics of the
working masses and their obedience to foreign
commands for the unleashing of social revolu
tion. "I am sure that the day on which the United
States has passed through these or similar
phases, its public opinion will understand per
fectly the problems of Spain.
Constant Progress
INCE our war of liberation (the civil
J war of 1936-39) ended, the progress and
perfection of Spanish politics have been con
stant. For three years the Spanish cortes
(parliament) has been functioning without inter
ruption. In it the syndicates, the municipal
governments and the corporations have their
elective representation, and during this time
there have been discussed and drawn up with
important changes in the original bills a great
number of important laws. Some of them,
which met with many difficulties, had to be
withdrawn by the ministers who presented
them.
"Recently there has been promulgated the
referendum law, in order to effect the direct
consultation of the nation in those laws which
are transcendent, and there is now in prepara
tion the new electoral census which will per
mit us to establish the natural play of public
consultation."

Hearse Trapped
By Snowslides
WENATCHEE, Jan. 26 )
Seventeen snowslides blocking
Stevens pass which highwaymen
say may not be cleared for sev
eral days have trapped a hearse
carrying a body to Sedro-Wooley
and narrowly missed killing two
other persons.
Marooned by slides is a Wen
atchee hearse carrying to Sedro
Wooley the body of Robert Dan
iel Quails, 78, of Mansfield. The
driver, Clarence Suthern, is at a
summit lodge with several other
travelers as all available heavy
plows from the Wenatchee dis
trict highway office work on the
slides containing trees, rock and
dirt.
Dr. James Hutchinson, Wenat
chee, arrived here this morning
with his mother by train. Their
car was partially buried by a
slide three miles west of the sum
mit. Escaping injury, Hutchin
son dug himself and his mother
out with a bucket in the car and
were taken to Scenic by a fellow
traveler the slide missed.

Youthful Crime
Spree Halted
WENATCHEE, Jan. 26 (JP)
An attempt to force a Wenatchee
airplane mechanic to fly them
to Seattle ended a three-day
crime spree of two brothers, 8
and 10 years old, and landed
them in the Chelan county jail.
The two boys who ran away
from their Tonasket home three
days ago left behind them a
trail of burglaries, car theft and
minor crimes during which they
gathered up two .22 calibre
pistols, hunting knives, ammuni
tion and belts and field glasses.
They ended their spree by en
tering the home of Russell Park
hill, Wenatchee, and shooting
the cat, killing a number of
chickens and shooting windows.
