1t Really Is
Too Bad!
tEDTToRIAI.1

THE Jubilee spirit has cap
tured and eaptivated Ia
coma. As one example: Look
at the enthusiasm with which
young and old have donned
those trick hats.
However. there is one dis
eordant note. That is in the
police department. With few
exceptions, none of the men,
bers of the department are
wearing them. Most of the
men would like to join in the
spirit of the day and wear at
least a big sombrero. But
they don't dare.
The safety commissioner
has put his foot down. No
trick hats for police officers
they have work to do. Prob
ably so, but it really is too
bad that these official repre-
sentatives of the city should
be hog-tied this way. What
say, commissioner?

fled Tuesday at the Harry Bridges

ed with Harry Bridges since 1884,
and attended union meetings with
him two or three times week for
several years" Leopold said.

him to become a Communist.
Not in SO many words the
witness said. after a meeting
where opposed an amendment
Bridges favored, he asked me why
] backed the rank and file"
Along the waterfront, he ex-
planned, the term rank and file"
frequently is used in reference to
the Communist movement.
Il asked him If he meant the
Communist party. He made no
particular comment.
II said: If you mean the Conn.,
nnunist party. to hell with it
Bridges walked away without an
swering."
