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."
