Watchman used to aid strikebreakers condemned by Boston press
A Boston paper denounces the harbor police boat Watchman for transporting strikebreakers to the schooner Dorothy Palmer. It says police must not take sides in labor disputes and calls for accountability, noting regulations forbid non police use of the boat without board permission. The piece links public policy to relief for the poor amid rising trust prices. It argues the House will likely prevail in the Senate on this point.

City payrolls should be published as an annual city document
