OPPOSE STATE COSSACKS.

Albany, n. Y.-Ohicials of the State
federation of labor are arousing trade
unionists to the danger of a constabulary
bill being passed at this session of the
State legislature.
Advocates of the cossack system are
pleading for protection to the farmer"
This is a fake, declares Thomas d. Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the legislative COM
mittee of the State federation of labor
"The real reason the constabuary is
wanted" he said, SIS to have a profess
sional strikebreaking organization main
tained at the expense of the State for
the express benefit of employers. De-
spite all the talk about the constabulary
being wanted especially to prevent apple
thieving from the farmers, it is notice
able that the bill gives the constabulary
the specific right to arrest without war
rant, as did the bill introduced last year.
This means that the State police can
supersede the authority of all other off
GERS of the State, as we'll as the courts"
