ASSISTANT CUTS HIS CHIEF One Clerk Admits Ignoring Order of Superior Woman Drawn Into Hearing Contrary to Her Own Wishes Shaktrop Due. A nubile bodr. with ona member standing out against the other two members, where tha chief clerk and his assistant do not speak and where gen eral chaos and InJharmony reign. Is dis closed In tha case of the Municipal Free Employment. Bureau, operated at pub lic exoense and one of tho most vital Institutions of tha city. Tha revelations were made at a hearing of charges against John G. Schroeder, Jr.. under order of dismissal by Mayor Kusnngnt, held by the Civil Service Commission yesterday afternoon. Schroeder. tbe dismissed chief clerk, appealed to the Civil Service Commis sion from the action of Mayor Rush light. The Mayor based his action on recommendations made by Ralph C. Clyde and J. L, Ledwldge. members of the board of governors of tha bureau. W. H. McMonles. the third member, dis ' sented and has been upholding the ac- cueed clerk. Mr. Clyde la preatdent of the bureau. Clerks Do Wev Speak. Evidence adduced yesterday after noon revealed that, sines last Febru ary, Schroeder. who waa chief clerk up to one month ago, and Assistant Clerk Chrlatlaason, were not on speaking terms becauee of the refusal of Chrts tlanson to obey orders of his superior, Schroeder. Miss Mlna Smith, In charge of tha women's department of the bureau, waa dragged ta, much against her wishes, and was forced to tell In tho presence of a large crowd that she "had not al ways agreed with Mr. Schroeder" In regard to the conduct of the office. She waa a reluctant witness. At the present time Indications point to a recommendation by the Civil Serv ice Commission for a complete reorgani sation of the bureau, with, the possible exception of Miss Smith. She la be lieved to have endeavored to keep clear of tha mix-up. Pseebedleace Is AdxsHved. Assistant Clerk Chrlstisnson. who Is acting aa chief clerk during tha hear ing of tha appeal, admitted when on tho wltneaa stand yesterday afternoon that ha had disobeyed orders Issued to blm by Mr. Schroeder before tbe latter'a dismissal. From statements made by witnesses en the stand yesterday and at a previ ous hearing of tha case. It baa been shown beyond doubt thst the Inhar monv existing In the office haa com pletely demoralised the bureau, and that, while the business has not as yet fallen away, that It probably will, un lese radical changea are made. Yeatcrday afternoon Mr. Schroeder took the stand and swore that tha In ception of the trouble waa when he em ployed H. A. Davis, a plumber, who runs an "open shop." to do some work In the office, early this year. He declared that Messrs. Clyde and Ledwldge. because of their pro-unlen sentiments, rebuked him for that. They deny It with equal emphasis. CeafUetlna; Teotlsaoay Offered. Tha accused put on several witnesses to show that be had conducted the office satisfactorily, so far aa their dealings with him went, and the prosecution put on witnesses to show that tha office waa not well conducted, not properly looked after, and that tha accused had left the office at times during the day to study law, when he should have been on duy. He waa accused of forming a private partnership with W. A. Ackerman to conduct an Independent labor bureau for employers, and It waa shown he per mitted printed letters to be sent out. bearing his name, but he denied that he used amy city time or that he intended In any way to neglect Ms duties In tho employment bureau of tha city; that he Intended to resign In case the private plan worked out well. It waa ahown that meetings of tha board of governors have been Irreg ular and that tha Individual members have attempted to dictate to the clerk In charge during Intermissions. Mr. Ledwldge testified yesterdsy that he went to the office, and. In the absence of Mr. Schroeder. looked over the letter files and removed a letter from the North Pacific Brewing Company, of Aa. toris. wherein Mr. Schroeder was asked to send to the writer a certain type of employe and promising to reward Mr. Schroeder with a 120 bill In case of the satisfactory conclusion of the affair. This letter made Its appearance at the hearing yesterdsy. but lost Its force whan It waa provsd that Mr. Schroeder, after opening It, had placed It on file with other routine letters, where every ena In tha city could have read It. and Mr. Schroeder. when asked by Deputy City Attorney Benbow If he ever got the 1-0. answered that he did not. After hearing aeverai witnesses and consuming thrse hours, the commission adjourned to resume the case at 1 o'clock next Monday afternoon.
