It started simply, when ‘police officers arrested -two persons for fighting and were set upon by a mob when they attempted to lead their prisoners-awaye The incident.precipitated a general outbreak of vidlence. “Before order was restored, stéél-helineted ‘police re-. - inforcements used ‘tear gas and fire ° hoses to deal with-the unruly mob and» it was found necessary to have the mayor of the city read the Riot. Act, calling for all citizens to go to their homes immediately or face arrest. When the smoke of the two-and-half hour battle had cleared, the streets were a shambles and 34 persons had been arrested. It: is, frightening to think that an outbreak of this dimension and viol- once could take place in a Canadian community. We have no doubt that the majority of Prince Rupert resi- dents, like the majority of Canadians. are law-abiding citizens, and yet this ugly affair did occur. Another just like it might break out at any time and any place where the individual sur- renders his reasoning power to the blind passions of' tHe mob. The same sort of thing happened in INTERPRETING THE NEWS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1958 work for the union—a story contrary to Hoffa’s sworn testimony. An exchange between union presi- _ 1958 dent Hoffa and committee member — Senator. Kennedy is interesting. The former accused Congress of permit- ting a legal no man’s land in labor- management relations. The Senator replied that the pending “Kennedy- * Ives bill would close-any such ‘gap. Re- torted Hoffa: “Why*don’t you pass it?” Responded “Senator “Kennedy: “Why are you. opposing it?” . “The Teamster president ‘explained he had good reasons but did not have them in front of him. _ Business organizations fighting the Kennedy-Ives bill (and she bills to protect employee welfare funds) list as one of their major reason for oppo- sition that union leaders favor ‘them openly or covertly. “Well, no doubt for very. different reasons, here’s a union leader “who doesn’t: James R.

Police officers, though serv- — ants of the people, are entitled to the full support of the public at large in the performance of their duties. These duties are quite often difficult enough to perform without deliberate and il- legal interference being promoted by unthinking citizens. | Far from being obstructed in their » duties, the police deserve the co-opera- tion and support of the public.
