Boston Police Strike

The video discusses a police strike in Massachusetts, where the local police commissioner refused to recognize a new officers' union. This led to a suspension of policemen, prompting Governor Coolidge to decline intervention and Mayor Peters to call in the militia. Martial law was declared in Boston, and the police faced public backlash, being labeled as mutineers. President Wilson condemned the strike as a crime against civilization.
