Dangers of Police, Firefighters Unions

"Wonder What Venus de Milo Thinks About" by Clare Briggs.

Sept. 11, 1919, Unions

 

The Times editorializes against unions for police officers and firefighters, asking: "Shall we expect union firemen to put out union-set fires?"

"Only a few days ago The Times called attention editorially to the secret organization of a policemen's union inside the Los Angeles police force, asked what steps had been taken by the mayor or the Police Commission to check the movement. It is within the jurisdiction of the Police Commission to require that each member of the force shall resign either from the union or the department. The spirit of Los Angeles is such that it will not tolerate a police force that has sworn allegiance to an organization that incites and fosters arson, incendiarism, strikes, sabotage and willful disregard for the law."
