POLICE AND FTRENIEN
BACK IN POLITICS, SAYS
REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
Employees of Director Wilson's
Department Returning to
"Old Practices" Letter
Asserts
PORTER ISSUES CHARGE

The police and 1remen under Director
of public Safety william II. Wilson, are
returning to "old practices and are again
participating in politics, according TO the
Citizens Republican League, which made
the charges today. , -
BY making the charges the league,
which recently was organized as an an
mex To the Penrose machine, showed that
Penrose is determined to attack the
Snith-Vare administration from every
possible angle.
The league charged that the police and
firemen are being forced to join political
clubs and that many of them are being
harassed for unpaid dues that had been
pilinE up during most of the Blankenburg
Administration A bill prohibiting the
police and firemen from belonging to polit-
ical clubs or in any other manner parti-
cipating in politics was introduced in the
last Legislature by Senator James +. Me-
Nchol and was passed with the support
of the Wares.
The charges were contained in a letter
sent to Director Wilson by Powell Evans.
chairman of the Executive Committee OF
the league.
George n. Porter. Director of Public
Safety under Mayor BlankenburE. and
one of the organizers of the Citizens Re-
publican League today made public the
letter TO Director Wilson in the following
statement:
Tn spite of the declarations of Dl-
rector Of public Safety Wilson that
he would keep the police and flremen
of Philadelphia out of politics, the
Citizens Republican League learns
from unuuestionably reliable sources
that the employees of Directors Will
sons department are being virtually
compelled to return to "old prac-
tees" The league has accordingly
addressed the following letter to Di-
rector Wilson, but as yet has had no
reply:
March T. 1915.
william H. Wilson. Esq.
Director of Public Safety.
Philadelphia.
Dear Sir-E'rom the information
coming to US from employees in the
Department of Public Safety. it is
quite apparent that there is a con-
certed attempt on the part of certain
politicians to revive the old practice
of compelling city employees to resume
their membership in political clubs.
We do not wish to infer that this
pernicious system is being revived
with your knowledge or sanction, but
we do feel that if the public declara-
tons of the Mayor mean what they
say, some steps should be taken to
stop this practice. In some cases at
tempts are being made to collect dues
unpaid during the previous adminis-
tration. ManIfestly, this is unjust
and a hardship.
For reasons which you will per-
fecty understand, the complainants
cannot appear as they would be sub
ject, as you well know, to persecu-
ton. This will not handicap you,
however, as the facilities of your Of
flee for securing this information are
far superior to ours
We trust you will issue and enforce
the proper orders to stop this abuse.
Yours very truly.
POWELL EVANS,
Chairman.
Director Wilson said today he would
answer the letter at later date.
