Labor in arms over police promotion of officers
District labor leaders plan broad distribution of pamphlets accusing Supt. Sylvester of promoting Capt. Mathews and Lieut. Mulhall despite serious charges. The police trial board verdicts are not final, with ongoing calls for further investigation if public pressure dictates. Mathews and Mulhall face charges of conduct unbecoming officers tied to an incident involving engineer Hugh S. Murphy last September.
