Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, September 13, 1919, p. 1. Note: The remainder of this item was cut off in copying, as indicated by ellipsis. "COPPERLESS" DAYS. Bloomington is not afflicted with a policemen's strike, but equal difficulty has been encountered by Superintendent Browning to get men to serve on the force. Following the recent discharging of every member of the local force after months of dissension, the city and county were raked for good "copper" material. After many days of difficulties, things settled back to normal with practically the same police force that ruled under the Harris administration. Among these was George McCoy, an efficient officer. Now trouble is bubbling again, and McCoy resigned Thursday night. The salaries of the police force were recently raised, but the squabble among the members seems to have stricken prospective members with more fear from within the present city machinery than from out in the cold world of crime. It seems plausible, however, that in this arid era of "stomach bitters" it is hardly necessary to maintain as large a police force as in the days. Constance T.
