POLICE POLICY
DELAYS COURTS
Disregards Judicial Opinion
And EFFORTS Excessive Col
lateral for Drunkenness.

DESPITE the fact that the police de-
partnnent has been asked by the Po-
lice Court not to continue to- densHnd
$50 collateral for persons arrested for
drunkenness, the department never
theless continues to do so. with the
result that this minor form of mis-
dcmeanor is allowed to clog the court
machinery. to the Irritation of those
connected with the courts.
The police department has been In
formed. and It already knew, that
the courts will not fine a person more
than $40 or, $l5 for being drunk un-
less u. case is of very nasrant
character.
Therefore. II is reasoned, why not
let these persons, the most Of whom
can get SO or SIS together, pu~up
this amount at the various precincts
and end their cases, a procedure
which would satisfy the courts, who
look upon drunkenness more as a dis.
ease than q crime.
Last, Monday the police dumped
sixty drunks into Police Court. Mos,
of these paid their fines OF SO or slf
and went home. Court ofiieials argue
that this payment could have been
made tust as well at the precincts
instead of bringing them into cour,
on a day that almost broke the rec
ord for business.
Some time ago the courts used q
assess heavy fines. such as So ane
over for drunkenness. with p view u
decreasing It. DRUNKENNESS did moi
decrease.
The courts came back to the regu,
lar SO and SIS fines again and forgot
to worry about drunks until the polic<
department tried practically the samt
method. that OF demanding an ex'
orbitant collateral
Even though the police department
does ask $50 collateral. drunkenness
has not decreased. It has increased
and the drunk cases. which are dis.
posed Of first. are delaying the more
serious cases to the extent that soms
persons around the court predict q
wholesale dismissal Of drunk cases II
order that the court machinery may
be able to function.

The day linotype chapel Thursday
adopted resolutions appealing to
Congress for the restoration OF the
rate Of 80 cents an hour in the john
son bill. granting increases to bind
ers, printers and pressmen. urging
that the increase will not enable
the employees to meet the 30 per
cent increase cost OF living. Copies
of the resolution were sent to the
other chapels in the shop and 20
each member Of the House and Sen
ate.
In their report the printing COM
mittee includes the leave and holi-
days as part of the wage. and the
rate of IS cents an hour. being
cents under the downtown news
paper scale, brings the cost OF the
holidays and leave to about 5000 for
each employe. Government inyes-
LEGATIONS reveal that the cost OF
maintaining q family is about s2,500
a year. and the present bill will
pay day men something like S2.l12
and they insist that this will not be
adequate to meet living increases.
The chapel also considers that
overtime should carry pay OF price
and a half. in order to discourage
extra work. as Congress many years
ago legislated the eight-hour day
on the statute books.
