The London Police
as StrikebreakerS
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, August IL, 19l1-
ABOR men here are just waking up
- to a new development In the Engiish
method of dealing with strikers which
promises to be extremely serious Tor
them, and which at the same time -
violation of all English traditions In such
matters. This is the use of the London
metropolitan police as sort or Pinker-
ton force to preserve order In any part OF
the country, and this at the same time
means that all disorder In connection
with strikes Is being handled win So
verify unknown before. Already the Ia
bor leaders have begun to refer to the
London boobies as the "pretorians.
The London police are organized ana
governed on a different plan from those
OF any other part OF the country. Man
chester liverpool. Birmingham and other
great cities have their own police, paid
and managed by the local authorities.
Each county has its own force paid ana
managed by the county council But the
London police are controlled directly oy
the national government. They are paid,
It is true, by local tax on London
householders, but the London county
council has no more voice in their man
agement than the New York board OF
aldermen.
ss
The policy of using the London bob
bies" for strike duty began about six
months ago when Winston Churchill. the
home secretary, sent 500 OF them To
Wales to overcome the striking miners.
A few days ago he sent 30 more 10
Cardiff to keep the striking sailors ana
longshoremen In order. The reason Tor
this policy, Of course, is obvious. The
London men. being drawn from dis
tance. have no local sympathies and are
not likely to look the other way while
a striker heaves half q brick at non
union man. Then, too' the local auInoIi-
ties, with an eye to economy, usually
keep down their police force to the limit
OF efficiency In ordinary times and have
no reserve for times OF unusual disorder
Formerly II was the custom to use SOL
diers for this extraordinary duty, but
tary force was unpopular. AS II mas
turned out the use OF imported police
has been even less popular.
The London taxpayers, too. are COM
planning bitterly. They don't see why
they should pay for a police force that
is being used all over the country. and
they are arguing that either they are
paying too much for police service or
they are being deprived Of proper protec-
tion while large numbers OF their police
are away.
Probably there are no harder ''kickerv'
against the system than the London po-
lice themselves. When they Joined the
force they contracted for duty on the
London streets among a fairly friendly
population They find chasing strikers
in the Welsh hills. I'm what is practically
hostile country, vastly different busi-
ness.

Sacrificed To The "Pot Hunter. u

The dove season has opened, joke
isn't it, dove season and no doves.
Where are they you say? Why, gone
the way of all other game in Kentucky,
sacrifice to the pot hunter. There
was a time, and it was not so very
long ago either, when the hemp fields
of Garraed and surrounding counties
were literally alive with doves, and
now, why you may sit all afternoon in
the shade of hemp shock or a tree
and not see one dove. Why is this
will you ask. The reason is that when
they We're plentiful, hunters would go
out in bands and vie with each other
as to the number they would kill; they
would go from county to county, and
from field to field, wherever they could
hear of doves, and would not cease
their slaughter until the last sign of a
dove was either killed or driven from
the locality. Do you wonder then that
we have dove season without doves.
Just so long as men, we will not say
sportsmen, continue to kill more game
than they can use, or more than is
sufficient for TIE needs of their owr
family, and catch more fish than they
can make use of in their own house
hold, just so long will Kentucky
streams be without fish and her field!
devoid of winged game.
The game laws could be made more
stringent, but rigid enforcement, o.
the laws now in existence would hell
the matter materially, and until som'
effort is made to enforce the existing
laws it looks like folly to enact other
to be treated as the ones we alread.
have.
The press all over the state is agitat
ing this matter with view to remedy
ing the existing evil, but we must con
fess that we are at loss to see wha
remedy they will suggest or apply tina
will prove efficacious.

Kirby Family With Sangers Combined
Shows.

There are many novel acts with the
Sangers Combined Shows which are
certain to be we'll received in every
city lucky enough to secure visit from
the consolidated enterprises. There
are acts which were never seen in
America until this show opened its
season of 1911, for the reason that
there was no amusement enterprise
great enough to afford the large sala-
ries which the artists demand and no
institution with sufficient prestige to
attract the attention of such celebra-
ted performers.
The Kirby Family of acrobats, for
instance, perform feats which have
never been seen in other shows.
The Sangers Combined Shows will
exhibit in Lancaster, Saturday Au-
gust 26.
