Partlow backs council in stand against negotiating with union
Mullens Police Chief Wendell W Cook is praised for supporting the Mullens Volunteer Fire Department by donating 6 15 to the firemen’s fund after raids on illegal dice games netted cash. He says such seizures push the stake money to top results. In Princeton, Attorney General Isa Partlow backs the city council in refusing to recognize the United Construction Workers as bargaining agent for city workers. The council cites prior state opinions and incidents in Morgantown and Clarksburg, noting high winds worsen street conditions while workers strike and picket.
