Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 17, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky a Little controversy Henry Feinstein a teamsters Union official who is trying to unionize the police of new York objects to statements of mine concerning his Union. He says Sokolsky argues that there must be no dual allegiance the police represent the Sovereign Power of the state to maintain Law and order regulate traffic protect school children arrest thieves murderers and other criminals As if joining a Union would interfere in any Way with a policeman living up to his oath of office. Mention of thieves and murderers in the same breath with unions must have been too not at All. I suggest that fein Stein read the hearings of the Mcclellan committee and if he likes to go Back to the hearings of the Kefauver committee and he will find that the record is quite Clear and that the conclusion must be reached that the teamsters Union is not to be trusted with the Sovereign Power of the state which rests in the police Force. As a matter it fact so vile is the record of this Union that it was thrown out of the . Which could not stomach its corruption. I do not believe that the citizens of any american municipality want Jimmy Hoffa to decide what its police should or should not do. Calvin Coolidge said Quot the duties which a police officer owes to the state Are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession of a police officer but having chosen it everyone is obliged to perform its duties and live up to the High standards of its requirements. To join in that High Enterprise Means the surrender of much individual Freedom. The police officer has chosen a profession that lie must hold to at All no better statement of the policeman s obligation has been made and i Ain grateful to have received it from a retired police sergeant who is not afraid to sign his name. There Are always two sides of a Coin where there is an obligation there is a responsibility. President Coolidge wrote Quot but there is toward the officer a corresponding duty of the state. It owes him a generous compensation for the Penis he endures tor the Protection of society. It owes Hun the knowledge of Security that is to be his from want in his declining years. It owes him that measure that is due to the great importance of the duties he discharges Quot vol. 80, no. 219 it.

Minn., where the line s Quot Winnipeg Era a left the rails injuring at least 16 passengers. There were no deaths and officials have not determined cause of the derailment. County cancer society reports Given at annual meeting i hese pro visions should be made by Law. Not by negotiation. A negotiation involves a negotiator. Tile negotiator develops More and More Power As he makes More and More gains whether they Are really beneficial or Only seem so. It is a dangerous condition to permit a Middle Man a negotiator a politician or a labor Leader to gain strength which he can sell As in a Luence Over the police Force. Are All the efforts to build the police into a decent service and a career to be wiped away in order to strengthen private labor leaders who alter All have a personal monetary interest in the status of then unions imagine what would happen to a cop who gave a Union official a ticket tor going through a red Light it would be As bad As giving the wife of one of those v i p s with a Low License number a ticket in the old Days before the police commissioners in some cities made a specially of bringing v i a s Dow n to size. Ooh i do not quarrel with Feinstein a right to earn a living in the teamsters Union. But when lie uses As his slogan a a restore the policeman to first class citizenship Quot he engages in dangerous demagoguery which needs to be scotched quickly and finally. Municipalities now engage in Many activities which give employment teachers clerks accountants policemen firemen Street cleaners garbage removers Etc. Presumably such employees will organize themselves into associations guilds or unions for their own purposes. A City like new York which owns its own transportation system is veritably being stifled by the demands of its transport workers Union. As municipalities engage in More and More activities they take Over areas of employment which do not involve the sovereignty of the state they Are an expansion of the socialistic enterprises of the municipality. But this cannot be applied to the police whose function is Ereign.
