Republican government never contemplated
that laws should be made for the purpose of
permitting one part of the people to force with
gun and club the other part of it to submit
to their dictation The theory of Republican
government is that laws should have such popu-
lar support that the majority and minority might
work together in harmony in their enforcement
and observance. Self-government means that only
laws that have such support may be adopted

The NEW YORK COP CONTRACTS" FOR PROMOTIONS
AND "CHISELS" FOR ALL The TRAFFIC WILL BEAR

most anything can be turned into an
offense under the City's Corporation
Ordinances; laws manufactured by
former saloonkeepers in the Alder
manic chamber.
Gives Cop Money
To avoid a summons, and the waste
of a day in court and payment Of a
fine the shopkeeper, pushcart peddlar
or traffic violator often settles it
with the cop for consideration. And
the cop puts the summons book back
into his pocket and everything is
jake.
But not for long. If the cop does
not bring in his record of summonses,
the "shoefly'' goes after him. The
"shoefly' is the sergeant. So the poor
cop is driven by his superior to bite
the hand that feeds him, and serve
summonses upon the pushcart ped
der, the small shopkeeper, and petty
traffic violators. Most shoeflies
drive the cops to get a rake-off in
the proceeds of the collection, which
by force of circumstances becomes a
weekly affair, with a regular book
keeping system, and at the same
time keep up the high record of ar
rests and summonses, because that is
the basis for the annual appropria-
ton for the police department by the
city.
To increase his income, to make
friends, to become a detective, the
cop obeys the leaders contracts, and
"chisels" as much as the traffic wifi
bear.

Forty Workers Are
Injured in Jersey
Trolley Smash-up

HOBOKEN, N. j., Dec. 6. - Twelve
men were seriously injured, several
perhaps fatally, when two public SER
vice trolley cars carrying workmen
going out Of Jersey City Heights to
the Hoboken ferry, collided on the
trestle at jefferson and Henderson
streets here today.
More than forty workmen were
severely shaken or cut by flying
glass. The injured were taken to the
Jersey City and the Christ Hospitals
in Jersey City and to the St. Francis
and ST. Mary's hospitals here.
Brakes Are Bad.
Both cars were of the Seventh ave-
nue. line and were going east. The
brakes on the one in the rear failed
to hold, police said, and it crashed in
to the rear of the car ahead. There
is no railing on the trestIe at the
point where the collision occurred.
First reports received by the police
stated that one or both of the cars
had fallen from the trestle to the
ground, sixty feet below. Seven am
balances and four patrol wagons were
rushed to the scene by the Jersey City
police. All available physicians were
called for service at the Jersey City
Hospital. At the same time, six am
balances were sent from the two hos
pitfalls in Hoboken.
The reports proved erroneous, how
ever, since neither of the cars left
the tracks.
Hospital attaches sent to the scene
were forced to walk the ties of the
trestle for about one block before
reaching the spot where the cars col
lided.

TEXTILE WORKERS
STRIKE LOOMING
In new ENGLAND.
Hosiery Workers Fight
Big Wage Slash

GLOUCESTER, Mass, (FP) Dec.
6.-Following 10 per cent wage cut
in the mills of the Ipswich Hosiery
Company a strike of the full fash
toned knitters seems almost in
evitable. The full fashioned men are
better paid than the seamless hosiery
workers who constitute the majority
of the 400 employees, but their wages
are 20 to so per cent below the rates
in union mills.
Ninety-seven per cent Of the full
fashioned knitters voted for a strike
endorsement from the American
Federation Of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers, reports William Smith,
secretary-treasurer of that organiza-
ton who Investigated the situation.
Smith warned the company that it's
policy was reckless and ill-advised. A
representative of the concern informed
him on his arrival that New England
manufacturers were determined to
bring the wages of the full fashioned
workers down to the general level of
other textile workers.
Low Wages.
Seamless hosiery workers at Ips-
witch averaged $1,000 a week before
the cut. They now average only
S14.40 a week. This brings their
wages some so cents week below
the average for Durham, N. c., says
Smith, and shows the illogie of the
company's argument that Southern
competition forced the cut.
Most full fashioned hosiery work
throughout the country is on union
basis, and the knitters average $50 to
$40 in union mills. Wages in some
cases pass the 500 mark. Seamless
hosiery work is generally morgan
lied and does not come under the
jurisdiction of the American Fedora
ton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
