apparent in view Of what was said at the JOINT hear
ing on the stale police bill at Charleston last night that
the real basis Of the opposition 10 this measure the fear
that the force created by the bill would be used private
police forces have been used in this state.
This is perfectly natural feeling in view Of what has
occurred in the past but would not exist if careful ex-
animation had been made Of the stale police forces that
already in existence.
As matter of fact state police force is the best pos
sbe protection against private police forces and all the
evils attendant upon them. With state force in the field
there would not be the slightest excuse for the employment
Of private police and in the case Of industrial disturbance
the only Of the state police would be to see that the
laws are not violated.
This is not theory 1t has been demonstrated time and

Pennsylvania particularly practically ali the opposition
which the force encountered from organized labor has
been withdrawn.
