Sons of Italy protest omission of Italian Americans on boards

The Sons of Italy passed a resolution protesting the new administration for excluding Italian Americans from municipal committees and forwarded it to Mayor Irving C Freese. At a Sunday meeting, the mayor was criticized for an untimely commission when no Italian American was placed on the White Fleet committee. The group also charged the removal of Edward Ronella from the Hoener Bolt committee was without valid reason. John N. Roberto of the Mescarielio Cifatte Italian American War Veterans said he asked the mayor to add a member to the White Fleet committee, but membership would not be increased.
