UNIoNIZlNG FIREMEN.

Al FTER Boston's experience with

somewhat of a surprise for the west
to wake up to the fact that in North
Yakima there existed unionized fire
department. We hold no malice to a
union IL 1t properly and fairly con-
ducts itself; nor has anyone objection
to labor organizing and presenting it's
claims to better IS working conditions,
especially where they are engaged in
non municipal employment. But
unionizing the police and fire depart
ments is reaching the limit of the pub
lies patience.
In North Yakima the firemen went on
a strike. Imagine a fire fighting force
employed to protect a municipality
from fire hazards on whose services
depend the life and property of
thousands, on a strike when q city
might be in blaze. The idea is as
absurd as 1t is preposterous. A fireman
is as much a sworn officer of the law
as policeman and in handling fire
is given extraordinary power. A sworn
officer has but one and only one duty
and that is to protect the public to
whom he owes his allegiance. Union
izing Is unfair to the public and strik-
ing is crime as far as he is concerned.
The soundest advice fireman was
ever given came from w. I. Brown,
district vice president of the Fire
Fighters association when he directed
the North Yakima firemen to tear up
their charter and forget It.

Though not a word she'd say:

To flirt without reply.
