handing officers last spring for the
board of trustees of the pension fund.
At that election Duffy was merciless-
ly walloped and Michael O'Connor
was elected by a vote of 2,403 to l.
233. 1t was the first election in which
the patrolmen ever demanded official
ballot boxes from the election COM
missioner, in order to have secret
ballot. At nearly every station lieu
tenant or captain stood at the ballot
box and spoke to voters, Remember
Duffy"
Michael O'Connor refuses to be in
.terviewed on the situation. Some of
his friends, however, say that O'Con-
nor didn't get any invitation to the
secret convention at Harrison street
and whatever was done is not for the
interest of the rank and file that
elected O'Connor.
A new bylaw of the State Po-
lice Association has come in for sus-
picion. 1t provides that all officers be-
low the rank of lieutenant shall be
"'social members" and not have the
right to vote. However, to be $50

SECRET PENSION MEETING?
The Commanding Officers Club of
the police department is playing some
sort of a game on the quiet that has
the patrolmen and sergeants of the
rank and file guessing. The facts are
becoming known about a secret con-
vention engineered by the command
ing officers and the appointment of
a committee to work on a new pen
sion bill.
The convention was held in the
Harrison street station. One COM
handing officer from every station
and three patrolmen picked as "dele-
gates" went from each station. Whee-
Ter Bartram, who represents the pen
sioners on the board Of trustees, was
present. So everybody was in on it
except the mass of patrolmen, who
were not offered any chance to elect
a delegate.

should realize the individual he by right
possesses in the payment Of taxes and in the dis
bursal Of money received from this source The hope
Of the Association is nst in the minds of every
taxpayer the Importance of expressing an active inter

The organization takes its place in a field which

The Association offers medium through which the
taxpayer strive for better conditions The first step
