CITY OFFICIALS RETICENT Iii a special two -price sale m A M Mayor, However, Declares Kow Had Better Be Settled Xow for Er Xiiiency of Department. Demand that the chaiges which have been threatened against him be filed immediately and heard at a pub lic meeting was made last night by John E. Young, chief of the Portland fire department. Up to a late hour yesterday no charges had been filed, although A. Ii Pulien. one of the leaders of the malcontent camp, told newspaper men that unless Chief Young resigned the charges would be forthcoming. "There has been a bluff about charges," decl. ;cd Chief Young, "and I now Insist on a showdown. My name has been mentioned, and while nothing specific has been produced, it has been hinted that I have erred. There is only one way to settle this matter and that is through the ruing of charges in a public way, where I can have an opportunity of defend lng myself and the office of the fire chief." One Statement Obtained. With the exception of Lieutenant Pulien, who is an inspector in the fire marshal's office, no statements could be obtained yesterday regard ing the threatened charges. Milton K. Klepper, who on Friday of last week notified Commissioner Bigelow of the intention to file the charges, declared yesterday that he was not handling the matter and knew abso lutely nothing about it Lieutenant Pulien, according to records in the civil service office, in November, 1920, while serving on probation as lieutenant was demoted to horseman after he had failed to pass an efficiency exam xation. Late last year he received his second ap pointment as lieutenant and was as signed to the fire marshal's office. "Are you planning to file charges against Fire Chief Toung?" Pulien was asked yesterday. Resignation la Awaited. "We are going to give him a little more time to resign and if he fails to act we will file our charges," de clared Pulien. "Who are we?" he was asked. "Taxpayers," he declared, after a moment's hesitation. Practically every person who has been about the city hall during the last two years is aware of the fric tion between a certain clique in tho fire bureau and the present chiet. This group of men who have made every effort to embarrass Chief Young are said to make the office of Fire Marshal Orenfell their headquarters. The fact that this department has been allowed to conduct its affairs without being responsible to the chief of the fire department is declared to be one of the main reasons that har mony has not prevailed. 11 Inspectors Employed. Kleven inspectors operate out- of the fire marshal's - department and none of the men or officials of the bureau is required - to work under the directors of the chief of the de partment who is charged with the responsibility of properly handling the work of the department. It is common knowlege. gained through various conferences which Commissioner Bigelow has been forced to call from time to time, that the main effort to handicap Fire Chief Toung has originated in this department, where the 'men have no Jear of being disciplined as the result of their work against the head Of the department. In connection with the fire mar shal's office, the ta. supervision and conservation commission, after mak ing a careful study of the conduct of this department, recommended tha hosemen be used as inspectors instead of lieutenants and curtailed the ap propriation for such service. Recommendation Not Followed. This recommendation was not fol lowed, however, for after a confer ence in the tfflce of Commissioner Bigelow, it was decided to curtail the force and thus retain the lieutenants as inspectors in this department on . the ground that the men with higher rank were better qualified for the work. While other city officials were re luctant to take part in the row. Mayor Baker said he believed the time had come for a complete showdown. "It is not my department and Com missioner Bigelow will handle the situation," said the mayor, "but things have progressed so far that a show down is inevitable for the good of the department and the city. I have heard about the trouble in the department, but I have not had time to make any personal investigation. It would be well to have the charges filed, have a public hearing and then if the charges cannot be substantiated the men who are behind this move should either be required to work or be ousted." City Commissioner Mann said that he had known Chief Young for 40 years and that in all that time he had never heard of him doing anything out of the way. "Chief Young is a stickler for effi ciency and the chances are that some of the men in his department don't like to work and are the men after his scalp," said Commissioner Mann. "In a large department of that kind there are bound to be some men who are not willing to give honest service and usually the men who won't work are the men who try to make trouble for someone else."
