PUBLIC HAS DUTY
 AS WELL AS RIGHTS
 DECLARES A. F.OEL
Points Them Out in Favoring
 Reinstatement of Boston Police.

In favoring the reinstatement of Bos- ton policemen who lost their positions when they struck last September, the A. F. of l.. convention gave fitting re- ply to the claim that ''the. public has rights"
 The trade unionists made an addi- ton to this claim by the statement that while the public has rights 1t also has duties. By inference the convention took the position that those who talk of "thei public rights" would make a stronger case and strikes would be avoided if the public were alert to its duties where wrong exists and did not wait until 1t was inconvenienced to talk about its rights"
 In was shown at the convention that the Boston policemen struck after they had exhausted every means of improv- ing intolerable conditions 1; after they were denied the right to even join a fraternal organization that had connec- tions outside the police department. and after a social club maintained by them had been dissolved
 The convention declared that con- ditions before the strike made 1t inn possible to maintain police force in a democratic country.
 That the Boston policemen's s request was fully justified" the conventions resolutions declared, is indicated by the fact that the men employed to fill their places after the strike were given the wages and other improved condi- tions which the Boston policemen had requested in respectful and proper manner
 "The citizens have a right to expect constant and loyal service on the po- licemen's part; but the police cannot fulfill their full duty if they are forced to suffer ranking injustice through tyrannical or arbitrary over-officials, or are to be prevented from presenting their claims for higher wages when the welfare of their wives and children makes this an absolute necessity
 'The policemen owe duty to the public, but the public owe an equivalent duty to those who are employed to wear the policemen's uniform, and the public owe it to themselves to see that no arbitrary, bureaucratic or tyrannical methods are allowed to develop on the part of those who are in direct admin istrative authority of the police forces"

.ISN'T MISSING ANY
 CHANGES AT REWARD

In order that he might be overlooking nothing, James West. a deputy sheriff of Needles, Calif.. through District At torney J. H. Duckworth of Needles, yesterday made inquiry of the office of the governor whether Mir. West, the captor Of Nose Gibson. is entitled to the reward that had been offered by the authorities and the people of this state for Gihson's arrest. Evidently Mir West hardly thought the reward was coming to him, but he did not pro- pose to sleep on any rights he might have.
 He arrested Gibson for the Trapp murder in California and at that time it was not known that the negro was also the murderer ot MT. and Mrs. Jacob Erhardt of this city. No reward is payable for the capture of the Err hardt murderer. According to the of ficer, payment was contingent upon the arrest and conviction of the mur- derer for that crime. Gibson was neither arrested for that murder nor was he convicted of it, but had already been convicted of the Trapp murder and was sentenced to death lie will be exc cuted at San Quentin September 24

The state laws require that both

never had a verse rejected, l never re-

! shall certainly not say that you are
'too absurd" think you are very wise
to go ahead and write your poems when
ever the mood strikes you, no matter
how self conscious you might possibly
feel about it. Not every one has this
gift and those who have it should en-
courage it as much as possible. hope
you will be very successful.
Magazines like Harper's, Scribner's S,
and Century could use your poetry,
should think. 1t would not hurt to try
them, anyhow, and if one rejects your
work try another. If none of them has
room or use for them, send them to one
of the syndicates which ] am inclosing.
I am sure You will have good luck il
you stick to it.
