Admitted that in each locality the situ- " ation is different, still it is irrefutable that as a general thing, all over the country firemen and policemen, cons:a- ering the work they do, get less pay and work longer hours than other laborers. It is a state of affairs bound to breed @iscontent and demands for improvement in one form or another. = In the event of a strike of firemen or policemen the cry always raised that it is a strike against the community. those who sympathize with the strikers and feel they “afe entitled to what they ask, feel also that they shouldn't walk out to get it. “Why, these fellows are st g against By “ag safety of their own homes and families!” is the reac- of the ordinary citizen. 4 There is justification for this attitude on the part of the community.
