Oman Revokes Vacations
That Police Force May Be
Intact During the Car Strike

Chief of Police Dinan issued orders
yesterday revoking all vacations of
members of the police force giving
as his reason that the strike situation.
in view of the fact that strike breakers
were being imported from the East,
is very grave and that all available
men will probably be necessary in
preserving order. The Chief is not
concerned as to the conduct of the car
men of this city. but fears the i'm
ported carmen wiz create reign of
violence which may keep the local
Police Department busy. In speaking
of his order revoking the vacations
of the men Chief Dinan said:
A compulsory vacation of two months
for every member of the department
was ordered by the Board of Police
Commissioners on the score of econ
omy. In view of the fact that there
will be a grave crisis to be met in
event of strike breakers arriving, /
have deemed it advisable to discontinue
the vacations of the men and hold
them in readiness to act There is
nothing to be feared from the local
carmen, but the imported workmen are
liable to have among thems men who
are dangerous to the community and
who may be responsible for scenes of
violence To prevent disorderly scenes
and to preserve the peace of the city
think it is necessary to have full
complement Of men on the force.

Three hundred men were sent out to go
