They show that strikes and strike-idled men were about twice as many in the 14 months preceding Taft-Hartley enactment as they were in the following 14 months, The “undeniable fact,” according to Sen.

He said he would use the grand jury hearing method to curb Jachaagring poliee who attempt “shake down” parties in court cases. Mayor Answers Charge In answer to this, Mayor Feeney today declared, “Mr. Dailey must surely realize that it — is hardly possible to fix cases without the collusion .of crooked members of his own legal profession and equally reprehensible citizens who are willing to bribe a public official.” The Mayor added: “While everyone will be syme pathetic with Mr, Daliley’s efforts to improve the prosecutor's office, it is unfortunate that ‘he unwittingly reflects on the integrity of hundreds of honest, hard working, underpaid police officers, who have done Rh the past 11 months to restore the morale of the department. “All cities will continue to have
