George Lawrence Oles o Youngstown, who resigned July 1 after six months of ruling as mayor In the second steel city In America, is now at his market stand, satisfied that running a city ' is no boy's job and not as easy as selling fruit and bread, he said. Oles' election was the biggest surprise in the annals of Ohio mu nicipalities. He was treated as a joke when he moved from his country home to Youngstown, rented rooms at the Ohio hotel and proclaimed to the voters: "Let George do it!" When the votes were counted he had defeated Mayor Warnock by 500 majority. Oles' platform, on an independent ticket, giving his salary $6000 a year to the city's needs, allowing spooning in parks, cleaning up po lice circles and reforms in taxes were the things that won him the election. Those who opposed Mayor Oles at the election were his best sup porters as the weeks of his thrill ing administration rolled on. . His first move in the way of reform was to offer the public safety di rectorship to the Rev. G. Batman, head of the federated churches. The minister declined. Oles then of fered the job to a millionaire banker and to a merchant. They also refused the post. Oles then selected David Hamilton, ex-mayor of East Youngstown. Hamilton ac cepted the job and was loyal to Oles. However, Oles ruled the policy of the director. 25 Policemen Fired. Oles fired 25 policemen In his drive to cut the city's expenses The police took the case to court and were ordered reinstated. This was a heavy blow to Oles and was said to have caused him to resign. Oles preferred charges against Police Chief Watkins, who was for 20 years a member of the depart ment. In a hearing before the civil service board Watkins was also reinstated and is still at the head of the department. Oles attempted to slash salaries of all city employes 20 per cent, but later was willing to compro mise on 15 per cent. The city coun cil blocked this move and Oles lost again. .- A carnival showed in the city dar ing Oles" last week as mayor. He j tried to stop the shows. He had pledged the people at many meet ings during his campaign not to permit carnivals. The council again overruled Oles and the shows came to town. Btth newspapers, the Vindicator and the Telegram, editorially said that Oles had brought the financial situation clearer to the citizens than ever before and showed the facts of the city's distress better than did any of his predecessors. Liquor Hard to Get. Oles declared he drove underworld women and bootleggers from the city. Police say they did this before Oles took office. Liquor is rather hard to get In Youngstown, and the town is apparently cleaner than it has been in years. Friends of Po lice Chiet Watkins assert his vice squad of plainclothes men accom plished this feat, while Oles' sup porters give him the credit. The ex-mayor is credited with tearing down three sets of stone steps leading into a bank at the public square which had been con sidered a nuisance for 25 years. The steps were on city property. Five thousand persons held a protest meeting at the public square the night Oles resigned and urged him to remain on the job. The mayor replied that too many law yers and politicians blocked his reforms. - , Oles now is devoting his time to urging home rule in Youngstown and abolishing civil service. Oles said he would not fight for the job or spend any money iji lawyers' fees to retain it. If the courts should hold that he is still mayor he will go back to the office. "The office of mayor in Youners- town is the most thankless job a man can have, were his parting Photo by Underwood & Underwood. GEORGE L.

FISHERMEN LOSE CASE (Continued From First Page.) weeks ago, announced that he would seize any purse-seining craft that entered the river for the purpose of discharging its catch a,t Washington canneries. Another legal fight followed and the purse seiners, through an in junction granted by Judge Ben at Portland, prevented Shoemaker from carrying out his threat. The jurist held that the channel of the Colum bia was a navigable waterway, be yond the jurisdiction of any state. For several weeks a fleet of about 20 purse seining craft has been working within the three-mile limit at the mouth of the Columbia, and, under the protection offered .by Judge Bean's injunction, coming up the river and. discharging their catches at canneries on. the Wash ington side. " As a result of Judge Cushman's action at Tacoma yesterday,' purse seiners.can operate only. on the high seas. They cannot dispose of their catches in Oregon. This means.
