No Compromise With Law Pos
sible, Says Governor; Wouldn't

SOME ASK FORGIVENESS,
COMMISSIONER SAYS
City Quiet Today, With Threat
of General Walkout
Held Up
By ihe Associated Press
Boston, Sept. 12. "The government
and laws of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts cannot be arbitrated."
This declaration from the State House
today was In response to an Incessant
public demand to know the attitude of
the state toward the striking police
men and suggestions of compromise.
"The men are deserters," said Gov- t
ernor Coolidge. "This is not a strike.
These men were public officials. Wc
cannot think of arbitrating the govern
ment or the form of law. There can be
no opportunity for any compromise in
respect to either. My personal opinion
is that they would not be taken back
It they yielded."
In the last twenty-four hours there
hare been suggestions of compromise
beginning with the statement that if
allowed to affiliate with the American '
Federation of Labor the policemen
would never be called out on strike in
sympathy with other .union organisa
tions. Labor leaders have not admitted
that they would make further conces
sions. --Urge Governor to Hold Out
'At the same time influential persons
have urged that the Governor refuse to

the event of sympathetic strikes by the t
- firemen, electrical workers, carmen. I
telephone operators and the building
trades, advised him to call tor tetierni
troops and fight the issue to the bit
ter end.
The attitude of the governor was made
known to newspapermen who asked him
flatly where he stood on the question of
Compromise In the face of threat of
further strikes being voted tonight. The
governor's statement was made in this
form.
"Why does the state object to the af
filiation of the police with the A. F. of
1i" was asked.
"That Js something the state has
nothing to do with. Internal direction
of the police department is wholly In
the hands of the police commissioner,"
the governor replied.
"Would you permit the men to re
turn with the understanding that they
would form an organization not affiliated
with the A. F. of Ii.?'
"You are now coming into the ques
tion of whether the action of the'poliec
was. aa a matter of fact, a strike and
whether the men who left their places
might under any circumstances be taken
back. That, "of course, is for the police
commissioner alone to determine."
"What are- the objections to permit
ting them to affiliate with the A. F. of
Jj.Y'
"Those have been stated so many
times that t hardly think It necessary to
go Into them again. They were stated
last night by President Wilson very
cjearly, but perhaps I might once more
suggest the primary objection Is that it
(s'fundamentnl that control of the gov
ernment and of the maintenance of law
and order must remain In the hands of
the property constituted authorities."
Sorry? Ask Reinstatement
Applications for, reinstatement have
been made by a "number" of striking
policemen. Superintendent of Police
Crowley said today.
Officers of the policemen's union,
however, asserted that instead of los
ing strength they were gaining mem
bers. The union roll now shows 1383
members, it was said.
Governor Coolldge received assurances
' from both the War and Navy Depart
ments that any call which he might
make" upon the President for federal
assistance would be answered prompt
ly, t Military leaders estimated that
j8t000 regulars could reach the city
within twelve hours.
The death list as a direct result of
the strike now in its third day, stood
today at seven. 8everal of the fatali
ties were due to firing by guardsmen
into mobs found breaking windows and
looting stores, while two resulted from
efforts of soldiers to break up dice
games which, during thw first two days,
were played openly in the streets and
on .Boston Common. Another of the
dead was a striking policeman shot
down, by a storekeeper who feared his
place of business was about to be
Backed,
The action of the constituent bodies of
the Central Labor Union on the ques
tion of a walkout In support of the
policemen was being awaited with some
uncertainty. Although no statement
was made' at the close of the meeting
of the central body as to the attitude
ol.the delegates from the individual or
sanitations which had voted, it was
known that a number of them already
.had.' given expression of their gym

VARES
UNDERMINE
UDCAL TICKET
McCain Sees Plan Afoot to Beat
McCullen and Henderson by
Bonniwell Deal
CONWAY TO BE MADE 'GOAT'
IJy GEORGE NOX McCAIN
Political workers who follow their
organization bosses in leading stringi,
and who are permitted to know onlj
just what these bosses choose to di
vulge to them, have suddenly awakened
to the fact that there is u deal on
whereby the judicial ticket is to be un
dermined by the Vare organization.
In this work of digging the ground
from beneath the feet of Judges Joseph
P. McCullen nnd George Henderson the
ward leaders are expected to wield the
pick.
Tho present campaign had barely
opened when I called tho attention to
the fact that Judge McCullen would
be the object of an attack by the Vare
organization: that the latter wns en
deavoring to negotiate a combination
with Judge F,ugene C. Itonniwell, of the
Municjpal Court, whereby the power of
the organization was to be thrown to
Bonniwell, as against McCullen, in re
turn for which Ilonniwell was to deliver
the votes of his faction of the Derrm
erotic party to Judge Patterson and the
Vare candidates.
On Monday last I directed attention
that 32,000 Democrats out of the 54,000
who had voted at the state senatorial
elections of 1014 and 1010 had failed
to register as such on the three regis
tration days this year; that Democrats
all over the city were being registered
as Republicans, a fact strikingly sig
nificant In connection with my Informa
tion on the Ilonniwell deal.
An inkling of the truth reached the
executive masion in Harrisburg last
week, whereupon Governor Sproul Is
sued his edict thnt the 'warring factions
in Philadelphia must keep hands off the
judicial ticket, the Implication being at
peril of his official dspleasure.
Conway Position Peculiar
A new slant is now given to the
maneuvers of the Vnre people in their
attempts to embroil the judicial ticket,
in an exposure of the conditions which
surround the condidacy of Patrick P.
Conway, who is not only n candidate
for Judge McCullen's seat, but is also
an aspirant to succeed Judge Hender
son In the Orphans Court.
The unique and doubtful position oc
cupled by Mr. Conway is entirely owing,
