HISTORY NOTE: thanks to www.historylink.org. In 1937, the WPA began to cut back on public works jobs and unemployment climbed back up. A new recession set in. Voters defeated a plan to scrap the decrepit electric trolleys of the municipal railway in favor of trackless-trolleys and buses, in part because of opposition from the motormen's union, which feared the loss of jobs. A relief crisis rose. To conservatives, particularly in rural Washington counties, unions' demands for higher wages and better working conditions were a barrier to recovery, not to mention the Communist influence. The anti-union Initiative 130, titled "Prevention of Labor Uprisings" was also called the right-to-work initiative.

His father was a police officer with the Tacoma Washington police and the Pierce County Sheriff's department, Washington State, during the early 1950's.

Still, could be repaired if someone was so inclined, or makes a great display piece as it is right now. Could probably be used for another pistol, but the snub nose .38 makes a great fit. excellent - read description and see photos. 39.50
