Labor strife at National India Rubber prompts town police overhaul
Editorial notes that a forthcoming police reorganization in Bristol will be funded by the National India Rubber Company.

Capt James J Costigan is tipped as permanent chief once residency requirements are met, with Col Callan assisting interim. Vacated strike costs borne by the town remain minimal as company troops assist.
