YOUNGSTOWN, O., July -25.
(Special.) 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

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. Mr.
Shoemaker declared, that the fleet
will move away and that Columbia
river fish will have a chance. to
propagate and the salmon industry

Third Internationale Declares
Readiness to Defend Men
Who Killed Soldier.
BY DONALD DAY.
(Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.
Copyright, 1022, by the Chicago Tribune.)
.RIGA, July 25. Characterizing
the assassination of Field Marshal
Wilson as "one of the most prlmi-
t've laws of righteousness," the
third Internationale has sent a let
ter to. English labor leaders, Messrs.
McDonald, Shaw and Henderson
urging that they press the English
government to permit represents
tives of the third Internationale to
go to England and defend the mur
derers. The letter is siened hv M
Radek and ' M. Bukharln, both' of
whom are leaers of the communistic
internationale and officials of the
soviet government.
The letter condemns the -court
which sentenced the assassins, be
cause they were not permitted to
make a statement, and it contracts
the "imperialistic court of England"
with the fair trial afforded accused
social revolutionaries in Moscow
whose attorneys were compelled to
flee the country fearing for their
lives.
The letter states that should th
bolshevists be permitted to send at
torneys they would not leave Eng
land no matter what kind of demon
strat'.ons weremade against them.

STANDARD OIL CO. -(California)
The forest fire situation was much
improved-yesterday. ForeBt service
officials were more optimistic re
garding the fire jn the Oregon na
tional forest on the Columbia river
highway. It has been held for the
last two days on two sides, and, is
being' controlled on a third.
Yesterday-was the first day that
there has' not been received a call
for . extra: supplies, and, the flurry
has Quieted down in general. Water
pumps and hoses have been used to
good advantage on the fire, and the
weather, oonditions have not been
so.venpouraging to a conflagration.
'V Wind Continues to Blow.
". The ti inds continue to blow force
fully down the gorge, but the avail
ability- of water for fighting the fire
has 'assisted the fighters against
the wind to a, certain extent.
: Three new fires were reported
burning in the Snoqualmie forest in
Washington. They are located near
the summit of the Cascades, by the
pass of the Northern Pacific rail
road ft Skykomish. The Washing
ton State -Fire association is co
operating . in the fighting of the
fires." .
Nearly" 100 men were paid jff at
odd times yesterday by the Forest
Fire Patrol association. They have
left the fires ill Tillamook, Columbia
and Clatsop counties.
' Situation Much Improved.
1 The situation is much improved
in these three counties, and though
the fires are still burning, and will
continue to burn until they are
doused by a rainfall, they are not
requiring, the .- fighting forces on
guard .; whicjh . were formerly em
ployed. .'.-There have been showers
in the- region of the Salmonberry
river in the-Nhalem district. Though
no rain has been reported farther
inland, it is thought that the
weather conditions are considerably
more favorable to the fighters.

Situation in Logging Districts Is
Becoming Acute.
ABERDEEN, Wash., July 25.
(Special.) With tires breaking out
in new places in the, logging dis
tricts, the fire hazard in Grays Har
bor county is becoming acute, ac
cording to reports. Fires which
started last night In the cleared
space where the spruce division pro
duction camp was located burned all
last night and this morning was
driven north by light wind. Em
ployes of the Poison Logging com
pany were sentto fight the fire in
this district, They back-fired around
the burning area until early this
morning, when the flames were
controlled. Very little damage to
standing timber was done.
Logged areas "in the vicinity of
Poison's old Camp 6 were burned
over last night and this morning
the flames were still raging about
four miles from the main road to the
lake.' The fire patrol and Poison
employes are fighting hard to con
trol the blaze.
The site of the Humptulips log
ging Camp 7, was burned over last
night, according to word received
this morning, but only logged lands
suffered from the fires.
Herman Creek Fire Controlled.
1 HOOD RIVER, Or., Juiy5. (Spe
cial.) Word came from all fronts
of the Herman creek forest fire to
night that the blaze Is under con
trol and the work of crews now,
unless brands are flung over from
it-he old burn, is simply one of pa
trolling the control lines established
around the huge area covered since
July 12. "We had not felt easy
about the fire until yesterday," said
Forester Brown, in charge of the
Herman creek station, "and today
the burn is under absolute control."
