...Boston Transcript in its Thursday night's issue asked a fair question which is entitled to a fair answer. After quoting at some length Mr. Harold I. Laski's remarks to the Boston Policemen's Union in Fay Hall Wednesday night, as reported in the Boston Post, the Transcript says editorially...

The argument used so much by their attorneys that they did not strike until assured the city was safeguarded does not hold. If they had known this there would have been no point in striking. They thought they could terrorize the public into submission, but they failed to realize...
