SEEM BENT ON
REMOVING THE
NAME RAYMOND
Down Neck Club Members Call
Meeting of Club for
Tonight.
GOING OVER THE HEAD OF
PRESIDENT BRElDENBAcH
Renewal of Raymond-Schmidt
Clubs Recent SCRAP"
Seems Imminent.

This is the time limit day allowed
Frederick C. Breidenbach, president
of the Raymond Schmidt Club, of
the Ironbound district, to call a
meeting of that organization.
Mr.. Breidenbach, who is also presi-
dent of the Police Commission. was
notified by registered letter twelve
days ago that if he didn't call the
meeting members of the association
would assemble on their own account
and proceed to transact business in
the regular way.
Commissioner Breidenbach re-
ceived the registered letter all right,
and in an interview with an Evening
Star reporter declared that he would
not issue a call for a meeting of the
club, as he was fully aware of the
fact that the purpose of those who
demanded the meeting was to order
the name Raymond" stricken from
the title of the organization.
As the commissioner is a Mayor
Raymond appointee he didn't propose
to let the members get together and
officially take the Raymond" sign
from above the door.
why lie Would Not Act.
Anyway, the commissioner declared
some of those who signed the petit
ton for the meeting were Demo-
Gratis, while others were behind in
their dues or something like that.
Both sides rested on their oars un-
til today, when as Breidenbach made
no move to comply with the request
of the petitioners the latter decided
to carry out their threat to meet re-
gardless of the president.
So 1t looks like a renewal of the
fight of some weeks ago, when an at
tempt to change the name of the
club failed because of Breidenbach' s
refusal to acquiesce.
This circular letter has been for
warded to the members of the club.
