of the council held in the commit
tee room before the regular meet
ing began last Tuesday night, prom
ised to furnish affidavits to show
there was urgent need of police
matrons at the city Jail.
While the organized working
men of the city are more directly
interested in the wage scale, yet
their inherent love of justice
prompts them to come to the aid of
the women in the present emer-
gency. They realize that the
women, like their own case, are un-
der attack because they have tried
to inaugurate reforms in the police
department.
Men who view the matron issue
from the standpoint of a disinter-
ested spectator, assert the belief
that the police department will
wish it had not attacked the
women before the fight is ended.
