BOSTON POLICE
FOR WALKOUT

and Leaving City to Law
less Element.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 11.-Presi-
dent Wilson in his address here
Thursday evening scored Boston po-
lice for striking and leaving the
community at the mercy of thugs.
He said:
Il want to say this, that strike
of the policemen of a great city,
leaving that city at the mercy of an
army of thugs, is a crime against
civilization. In my judgment the
obligation of a policeman is as sa-
cred and direct as the obligation of
a soldier. He is public servant,
not private employe, and the whole
honor and safety of the community
is in his hands. He has no right to
prefer any private advantage to the
public safety.
81 hope that that lesson will be
burned in so that it will never again
be forgotten, because the pride of
America is that it can exercise self
control"
