Chiet Rawlings sald that the number was neglible, Commissloner Jackson spoke against having. another civil service examina- tlon, saying that it was bound to have a bad effect on the morale of the men, and that it might also tend to make politiclans out of some of the police- men, Commissioner Parker then withdrew hils motion that another civil examination be held to name a ser- geant, Sergeant Selected. Clerk McGrail then read off the list of those eligible for appointment as a sergeant as follows: ,Willlam §. Strolls, age 36 years, general average 93; Willlam P. McCue, age 44 years, general average 93; \A‘nll:\m P. Haye, aged 32 years, general average 85; Michael F. Massey, aged 40 Years, gen- eral average 92, and Matthias Rival, aged 37 years, general average 96, Commissioner Parker then made a motion that the highest man on the list, Matthias Rival, be named ser- geant. Commissioner I ange said that his choice was W. P, McCue, who he beiieved had served on the job in an excellent manner, judging from what he had heard. Commissioner Jackson also spoke favoring the elevation of McCue., He said that he had doubt of the fitness and record of Mr. Rival, but in view of the fact that Patrolman McCue has been doing the work, he is entitled to a promotion and the salary that goes with 1{he position. After Chairman Dunn had expressed himself as favoring the ap- poifitment of McCue, Commissioner Parker moved that it he made unanimous. Chief Rawlings expressed satisfaction with the work of McCue in the past, and he also spoke in high terms of the record of Patrolman Rival. It was yoted to have the new gergeant commence in his rank on May 15. “Hart Heads Bureau, Chief Rawlings then suggested that the board designate Detoctive Ser- geant William C. Hart as hcad of the detective burean. . He said that in the past the men in this bureau had been designated to the job by the office. The board acquiesced in the desire of the chief, . Chief Rawlings spoke of the new manuals for the department which are being compiled, with the ordinances, by the city clerk. The cierk ex- plained that they are now in, the hands of the printer. New Traffic Signs Chairman Dunn said that the traf- fic supervisor has called to his atten- tion the need of some new parking signs. Chief Rawlings some were needed on Lafayette street. Commissioner Lange asked the price of these signs, saying that some criticism has beén made of the high prices dsked. Tt was explained that duging the war they did cost between $8 and $9, but have since been lowered in price. The chairman said that there has been some criticism that the signs are not high enough. Chief Rawlings said that they are, in his opinion, a trifle low. The Vice Squad. Commissioner Jackson then brought up the matter of the vice squad, at which there has been considerable talk aimed of late. Chairman Dunn said that only yesterday, an irate man conducting a store on lLafayette street came into his office to lodge a complaint about the manner in which the vice squad *tore up things” about his place Thachairman said that he got in communication with Sergeant Hart, and together they made a trip to the place. A few boards were found pulled out, and a few bricks loosened. It was explained that the proprietor had been previously prose- cuted for violation of the liquor law, and that it was while in the search for liquor that the boards and bricks were removed, In the opinion ex- pressed by the chairman, there had Dbeen nothing serious done. No Written Complaints, Chairman Dunn also said that frate parent had complained that his son had been abused by the ce squad, According to Sergeant Hart's story to the chairman, the boy, who was at the place when the raiders arrived, was too young to be arrested, and when his language became ex- tremely abusive, he was shaken up somewhat. According to the chair- man of the board, these complaints were verbal ones. Clerk McGrail gaid it was the policy ef the old board fi How You May Have a Really Fine Complexion Soap an Says Buttermilk Cream and Used Each Night Before Retiring Makes Complexion Soft, Smooth and Beautifully Clear.

In commenting onthe matter of the vice squad, Chief Rawlings said: “The time has come when the police department is heing kicked around by law evaders, and It must stop. Con- tinuing, the chief sald: “We are going to enforce the law.' The chief said that many stories relative to the vice squad are being spread by law viola- tors, and sooner or later some of these persons will be brought in and made to explain their remarks and actions. He also said that the work of the vice squad ‘must be ‘completed, and it has been with his sanction that it has been conducted, Commissioner Jackson sald that some of the complaints against the agtions of the vice squad has not been from law violators. Will Back Policemen Commi oner Parker also remark- €d that h¢ has not heard his remarks from law violators. “Do you want the law enforced?" d Chief Rawlings. ‘es,’ answered Commissioner Par- ker. “Well then, if people have com- plaints let them come in with them and say s0. There are a lot of people who think they can abuse the police, and I am not going to stand for it,” said Chief Rawlings. Chairman Dunn said that the police will be backed to the limit by the loard. Commissioner Parker said that he wanted the liquor law and all laws enforced, and that he wanted a chief of police and not a half of,a chief. Commissioner Lange spoke of the methods employed in gathering evj, dence, to which the chief remarked, “Well we cannot send out cards an- nouncing our coming.” Commissioner Lange said he had heard of gome rough tactics being employed in get- ting evidence. Chief Rawlings said that when the officers go out to get evidence, they must work to get it. Chairman Dunn said that in places where no evidence of liquor had heen obtained, the place should be left as it was. Chief Rawlings said that there had Leen no undue efiort or violence used in this work of getting evidence, and that the police department was en- titled to the backing of the public. Continuing he said, “I don't believe in stabbing in the back, and T am not going to be browbeaten by this gang.” Commissioner Jackson said that in lLis opinion the discussicn was a good one to talk over, and Chairman Dunn added that the board wanted to get the truth in the matter. “No good law abiding citizen has been kicking so far,” said Chief Rawlings. . Commissioner Jackson said that it W not a good thing to have this feeling going broadcast about the city toward the vice squad. Commissioner Parker said that in Hartford, the attitude toward the vice squad is not the same as it is here.

Lahor Roard, today told members of the brotherhood of rallroad trainmen {in triennial convention, Capital and Labor, “I am increasingly impressed with the dominant importance of the hu- man element in all labor controvers- les,” he said. *There can in reality be fo such thing as a conflict hetween capital and labor. Capital is only the accumulated results of labor. The capital of today is the labor of ) terday. There may be n controversy hetween the man who furnishes the labor of yesterday and the man who contributes the labor of today. This is merely a contest between man and man and not between the Jahoring | man and some gigantic ogre as the soap hox orator so vigorously pro- claims, “As 1 sit on the railroad see before me amen animated by sel- fish instinets of human nature, On the one hand are the men who rep- resent the owners of the lahor of yes- terday, and now typified by dollars, trackage and general equipment. On the other hand is the living, pulsat- ing labor of today. Both are essen- tial to the cfficient operation of rail- rcads. board 1 Spirit of Brotherhood “The only thing for which we can reasonably hope is that as the years go by, the beneficent spirit of Christianity will soften the hearts of men jnto a finer and deeper sensc of T brotherhood. “A ralroad organization can do it- self no greater wrong than to be- come so engrossed in the pursuits of its own ends as to forget the rights of the employe and ignore the inter- ests of .the public. The object of your organization is to secure all that belongs to the labor men and no more. “Critics in haste and ignorance sometimes compare the wages of men in transportation service with classes of labor of comparatively little gkill, hazard or responsibility. The task of the labor board is a difficult one. Without the benefit of precedents, ¢ must act in matters of tremendous | importance to everybody concerncd. Liet me assure you that the members of labor board approach their tasks with a desire of a square deal for all. PLAINVILLE K.
