Forthcoming Program
One very bright streak of light
appearing as far as morale is
concerned is the forthcoming pro-
gram of the force. 1t is a usually
accepted fact that as long as there
is a unity of interest morale is not
dead. 1t may be sick and sore,
but not unto death.
Today a police carnival gets
underway. A police ball is sched-
uled for May 81. All this activity
means that the police force is not
a dead force. And the activity
must be considered creditable.
It is accepted universally that
in a good many instances mans
memory is short. AS far as GER
tain things are concerned this is
bad. For the most part it is good.
It is to the credit of the average
man that he remembers the good
and not the bad. When the bad
happens that is foremost in his
mind at the moment. The good
fingers a bit longer, however.
AS far as the Wilmington police
department is concerned it is only
reasonable to expect that the I'M
fortunate things of the past three
months soon will be forgotten.
This does not mean that vigilance
should be forgotten. 1t would be
unfair to city officials to suppose
that in the months and years
ahead the lessons which the past
three months has taught will be
tossed overheard as someting OF
which to be rid.
The lessons we're hard-learned
and costly ones.

MILLION WORKERS

Unions In New Jersey Plan
Demonstration Against

NEWARK, April 10 - W.D -
ICIO, AFL, Railroad Brotherhood

against striking telephone workers.
A one-day sympathy strike was
planned by the labor joint legisla-

blyman Lewis M. Hermann, a Re-
publican. New Jersey labor lead
ers were angered by passage OF
an amendment to the anti-uti1ity
strike bill providing fines and jail
sentences for individual workers
striking on a state-seized public
utility.
Gov. Alfred Driscoll, who push
ed passage of the amendment,
said today he had heard no--ling
of a general strike.
Walter T. Margetts, chairman OF
the New Jersey State Mediation
board, went to Washington today
to urge Joseph Reirne, president
OF the National Federation of Tel
ephone workers, to order New Jer-
sey telephone workers to return
to their jobs.
It was reported that he would
tell Beirne the state Was prepared
to prosecute individual strikers if
thew continued their strike now
that the state has seized the tele-
phone company. Three New Jer-
sey women, union leaders, already
have been charged with violation
