Boasts of How Police
Aid Strike-Breaking

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 2s. - A
bare-faced admission that the police
are doing all they can to break the
strike of 10000 garment workers Of
the International ladies' Garment
Workers Union, is contained IN a let
ter sent to Henry H. Finder, president
of the Industrial Council (of employ
ers), by Police Commissioners No
Laughlin. In fact Mclaughlin explains
to the bosses that the police are doing
all they can, In part the letter reads:
Il think you will agree with me
that the police are doing their part
and you must get more action from the
courts If you are going to make pro
gress.
Turning these people out with small
fines or suspended sentences only en-
cOurages them to continue"
In further comment upon the letter,
made public by Finder, he declares
that he is now going to put pressure
on the police court judges to make the
fines and penalties heavier for arrest
ed pickets. He says:
"The police are endeavoring to curb
violence, but they report their efforts
are nullifed by the failure of the
magistrates to cooperate. We have
taken the matter up with Police Com

THE more dignified boosts for the
4 camps are statements from some
Of the nations great men" Here is
bit Of the soft soap that President
Coolidge was persuaded to write about
the camps to be expressly used in
publicity to rope in the youngsters for
military training:
These camps are an essential in
the plan of national security. They
promise obedience to law and re-
spect for the institutions of we'll
bred society. Young men are helped
to physical health, mental vigor and
moral excellence. Social understand
ing and democratic feeling are de-
veloped; love and reverence for the
flag are the natural outcome Of the
training. Courtesy in act, sympathy
in feeling, tolerance in thought, are
the ideals"

wrote the above blurb for him, as
well as the lowliest press agent in the
service of the war department, knows
