Police labor union feared corruption in high ranks
A detailed sworn account alleges police Maj. Pullman and other executives allowed a police men’s union to form under a favorable charter with the American Federation of Labor. It claims an inner ring used the association to push pension terms and influence officers, then opposed the union when challenges arose. The report links removal of Pullman to these tensions as part of a driving motive. The San Francisco dispatch notes a Spanish War Veterans convention in St. Louis naming William Jones as commander and Minnie H. Lambert as presiding general of the auxiliary.
