SAYS COPS lay BRICKS
WHEN OFF POLICE DUTY
House District Committee to Grapple
With Problem Presented by
Walking Delegate.

Can a policeman and a bricklaycr be
one and the same person? Can a bricklay-
er be a good policeman after bricklaying
hours. or can policeman be good
bricklayer after he has arrested people
or patrolled all night? Can he lay bricks
by day and pound them by night?
These and similar variations of the
same interrogative theme will be played
over by subcommittee of the House
District committee. to whom complaint
has been made in all seriousness by a
walking delegate of the bricklayers
union. The complaint is that there are two
policemen in the city who are energetic
enough to lay bricks in their off time.
Or, as Representative Winslow of Mas
sachusetts put it before the committee
today. in their leisure hours these po-
| lIccfnen lay bricks" No-"in their leisure
hours these b!ickiayers are policemen"
Question Up to Committee.
Representative Walters of Pennsyl-
vania the bull mooser of the District
committee. put the matter up to the
committee today. He said that the
walking delegate Of the bricklayers had
I tconaplained 10 him. Some one asked
him in q low voice if the walking dele
gate of the police had anything to say
about the situation. which had all the
appearances of "a double-ender-look at
1T any way you like. and it still had the
same aspect Bricklayers by day. cops

slider the bill for eight hours of labor
for women and children tomorrow" was
the response.

ative Thompson of Oklahoma.
