> Injured in Jersey Trolley Smash-up HOBOKEN, N. J., Dec. 6. — Twelve men were seriously injured, several perhaps fatally, when two public ser- vice trolley cars carrying workmen going out of Jersey City Heights to the Hoboken ferry, collided on the trestle at Jefferson and Henderson streets here today. More than forty workmen severely shaken or cut by flying glass. Jersey City and the Christ Hospitals in Jersey City and to the St. Frangis and St. Mary’s hospitals here. Brakes Are Bad. Both cars were of the Seventh ave- nue line and were going east. The brakes on the one in the rear failed to hold, police said, and it erashed in- to the rear of the car ahead. There is no railing on the trestle at the point where the collision occurred. First reports received by the police stated that one or both of the cars had fallen from the trestle to the| ground, sixty feet below. Seven am- bulances and four patrol wagons were rushed to the scene by the Jersey City | police. All available physicians were called for service at the Jersey City Hospital. At the same time, six am- bulances were sent from the two hos- pitals in Hoboken. The reports proved erroneous, how- ever, since neither of the cars left the tracks. Hospital attaches sent to the scene were forced to walk the ties of the trestle for about one block before reaching the spot where the cars col- | lided. Mine Strikers Denied Doctor in Colo.

If a cop had made |the collar it would have been ‘a sure |} promotion for him.” This complaint came from a young policemap the morning after Bern- vein had gone on a shooting ramp- } age in a lawyer’s office on Broadway, killing two - persons outright, and causing the death of two others. This young cop expressed the senti- |ment of most of his gomrades in blué. ‘Promotion is the creed of the potice- man. He is on a job and wants to jmake the best and most of it. “If a | Daltimore merchant goes crazy over |a real estate deal and comes to ‘New | York to shoot up a lawyer’s office ; why should not the hard-working cop ; profit by it and earn a promotion as reward for arresting a dangerous murderer, In addition to a promo- |tion to detective’s grade, his name | would appear in the papers, and his | picture in the tabloids and he would be called a hero, and perhaps earn |the $100 gold reward given every ;month by one of the tabs for heroism |in the police department, For His Benefit. | Yes, the cops are looking out for themselves. The papers may say that the cop risked his life to protect the public, but he knows that he |risked his life to earn a better liveli- hood, precisely as the workingman will dig coal, or a, subway, or work |way up on a skyscraper to earn a livelihood. In political parlance a cont¥act is jan order from the “leader” directed at everybody, beginning with the cop, and ending with the judge, to abstain from doing something, usu- ally from sending to jail some “bird” who stands in with the “leader.” Few policemen dare to disobey such “contracts.” For that matter few | Judges do. If a policeman disregards the order of the leader, he’ is pun- ished by being transferred far away ;from home: if he lives in the Bronx {he is sent to a post somewhere along the Kill Van Kull where Staten Is- land swaps mosquitoes with New Jersey. - Gets Good Post. When such trangfer is made the news in police circles spreads: that Boss So-and-So kept his word to have Cop So-and-So “broke.” - The. cop is. certainly “broke” in spirit,..and in chances of promotion. If, however, the cop is a good: fel- low, and does as the leader. oceasion- ally ‘requires him to do, he will be favored with a good post, and pos- sible promotion. A good beat is where “chiselling” is possible. There is no “graft” in the department, but there is plenty of “chiselling.” Now, how and why does the cop do his “chiselling?” Because he wants to increase his income and buy a little car for the wife, and a home for the kids. Most victims of. the “chiselling” are traffic law violators, pusheart peddlars, and small- store seepers. They are forever threat- ed with summonses.
