Union Heads to Be Put on Trial in Boston Police Crisis
Eight officers of the Boston Policemen Union face charges for affiliating with the Boston Policemen's Union in defiance of General Order 35. The trial will be held at police headquarters with a secret panel of judges. If found guilty, penalties include discharge or suspension, while a strike is possible if lawyers advise it. Governor Coolidge backs Commissioner Curtis as union leaders seek legal avenues and prepare for possible mass action.

McAuliffe Case Affects Police Union Rules
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 1892 upheld a city rule barring police from political activity as a condition of holding office. Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes stated the city may require obedience to department rules, and that a policeman may forfeit constitutional rights by accepting the job. The decision declined mandamus to reinstate McAuliffe as policeman in New Bedford.
