iBstatement as members of the
Salem fire department was made
by the civil service commission at
the close of a stormy session last
night at the council chambers, in
.which Attorney Thomas G. Ryan
of Portland was aggressor. Writ
ten order of the denial will be
handed down today, Chairman
Johnson said after announcing a
verbal decision at the insistence
of Ryan.
Although ' the commission de
nied reinstatement of Lewis and
Olson, In effect it announced that
the two men would be placed on
the laid off employment list,
meaning that they would have
first chance at vacancies, and
which continues them as mem
j bers of the fire department.
Throughout the hearing, which
lasted nearly an hour and a half,
and main bone of contention of
which was the seniority status of
O. A. Olson, reinstated by the
commission this month following
a public hearing, Ryan and his
associate. M. Clifford Moynihan,
Indicated that if decision of the
commission was not favorable to
their clients, the matter would be
appealed to the circuit court.
Moynihan, at close of the hear
ing, stated In all probability ap
peal would be taken.
Loser at Hearing
Framed City's Law
By coincidence, Ryan who lost
his verbal tilts with the commis
sion last night, was the framer
of the civil service act which was
voted as an amendment to the
city charter last May.
Attorneys for Lewis and Hul
Bey contended that Lewis should
be employed in the department In
lieu of Olson, and that Hulsey be 1
placed as number one on the laid- I
off list, and that Olson be rank- pending appointment of a perma
ed number two on this unemploy- I nent manager, at the meeting of
ed list.
The commission, after Ryan
and Moynihan outlined their posi-
tion contending' that Olson was
erroneously reinstated, repeated
ly refused to listen to testimony
of nine witnesses which Ryan had
marshalled In support of their
showing.
Thrice Ryan threatened to put
on testimony anyway, whether
the commission willed It or not.
but finally withdrew Hulsey aft
er the commissioners, on advice
of City Attorney Trlndle, stated
the outline of the defense Ryan
and Moynihan gave would be suf
ficient record to take the matter
to the circuit court on appeal.

The commissioners consistently
refused to go back Into the Olson

Ryan declared heatedly at -one
