I Stating additional reasons why hey felt they should be heard ty the civil service commission, he three men, George Erkman, urnold Steere and Ralph B. Merer, Mer-er, filed their second appeal for ; hearing today. TLeir first ap peal was rejected by the com-llsslon com-llsslon Saturday, whose members uled mat because the dismissal yas for economy reasons, the lommission - had no jurisdiction h the matter. : Entering the controversy, they aid. in the interests of civil service seniority principles, mem- ers ot tne ogaen pouce ana nre-?ien nre-?ien associations have written a etter to the Provo civil service omrnission. The Ogden groups harge that the whole principle of leniority in civil service has been ;iolated, and urge the commis-ion commis-ion to hear the dismissed patrol- oen s appeaL An opinion is also being await- d from Attorney General Grover y. Giles, who has been asked to nter tne controversy on we Ueged grounds that a precedent as been set which might en- anger the seniority of other civil ervice employes throughout the tate. Request for the opinion was ubmitted following a recent neeting of representatives from Logan, Ogden and Salt Lake City once associations and the Ogden ire department organization. The appeal petition filed today y the three men questioned the ood faith of the economy reasons iven by the city commission in onnection with the dismissals, ."he petition states that on Nov. ,0, 1949, Maurice Harding, then layor, announced an economy iove necessary in connection ith the police force and that a eduction in personnel would be ecessary. The petition further Itates that on Dec. 6, 1945, after lis announcement, the commis- ;on formally hired another police fficer, Leland Jolley, by appoint lg him patrolman third grade at ie conclusion of his probationary eriod. It also cites alleged statements J Mayor Harding, which the peti Ion asserts were quoted in the Daily Herald, to the effect that jniority would not be considered p tne reduction and tnat men lleast efficient", would be laid atement after it appeared in the ov. 30 issue of the Herald, calming he was misquoted. The closing statement of the etitions, filed separately for each mn, stated: "Petitioner further states that he was suspended for ineffi-ency ineffi-ency as stated by the Mayor, hen the City Commision had no lower to do it, and only the rovo City Chief of Police under ie Utah Law, the Provo City prdlnances, and the Rules and egulations of the Civil Service omrnission could remove peti oner, and then only after his gal rights to a public hearing tad counsel had been afforded im: but, on the other hand, if fe Provo City Commission re-oved re-oved petitioner for economy pasons, then why was another Ifiicer emDloved after the con. rny program had been announced In November 30, 1945; and that tetitioner has been removed Hthout regard to his faithful prvice in the Provo City Police epartment and in violation of is seniority rights, and has been harged in the public press with hefficiency, and denied a public earing before your Honorable lody, and in violation of his legal gms in the premises as afore-Md." Labor Dispute Is Heard by Provo City Commission The Vivian . Harrison - Provo utilities labor dispute was handed to the city commission Tuesday night, In a four-hour bearing which ranged from calm discus sion to extreme verbal turbu lence. The commission took the case under advisement and will rule at a later date. Mr. Harrison seeks pay for a three-day suspension in August over dispute with a foreman. Frank Jensen, CIO official from Salt Lake City who acted as Mr. Harrison's counsel, started the proceedings with a demand that Mayor Mark Anderson be dis qualified from yoting on the matter, on the grounds that he had already made up his mind as a member of the utilities board which upheld the decision against his client. New Chairman- Mayor Anderson admitted he already had an opinion, "unless new evidence was uncovered," and said it was up to the other commissioners, J. Earl Lewis and B. D. Palfreyman. to vote him out if they wished. This they did not do, and the matter was carried no further than hearing Mr. Jensen's protest. Mayor Anderson An-derson suggested they appoint another chairman, and on Commissioner Com-missioner Lewis's motion, Commissioner Com-missioner Palfreyman took the chair. Charges and counter-charges were hurled between Mayor Anderson An-derson and Mr. Jensen. Mr. Anderson came out flatly with the charge that the CIO "was trying to dominate the city commission com-mission and city employes," and that they have "encouraged inefficiency in-efficiency and insubordination in the city's utility operations." Lists Grievances-Mr. Grievances-Mr. Jensen countered, in his written appeal on behalf of Mr. Harrison and in personal remarks, with a lengthy list of charges, including assertions that: The city utilities had the wrong grievance procedure for its employes; the grievance committee which ruled on Mr. Harrison's case was not a bonafide grievance committee and was dictated to by Elmer Jacob, utili.ty manager; the utilities utili-ties record of the case differed from that ke"pt by the CIO; fore men were unjustly permitted to take part in balloting to select a grievance committee; his client had been libeled by the committee's commit-tee's findings and by their reproduction re-production in the press; the foreman fore-man in the dispute, Merrill Roundy, had been at fault and not been punished; that in general his client had not received a fair trial, and other accusations. Carlos Stone, member of the grievance committee which first ruled on Mr. Harrison s case, de nied repeatedly that the com mittee had been in any way influenced in-fluenced or intimidated by Mr. Jacob or anyone else. Ronald Dean and William Paulsen were the other two members of the committee, selected by ballot from 12 members of the. distribution department, in which two foremen fore-men participated. Mr. Harrison, testifying in his own behalf, charged that nothing in the evidence supported the committee's findings, and that he had been "libeled in the paper" by it. The story appearing in the press concerning it two weeks ago printed the committee's findings, find-ings, in part, verbatim. Mr. Jacob asserted that Mr. Harrison had been suspended be cause he would not work with Mr. Roundy, that they -tried to find other work for him in the department, and that it wasn't until after the three day suspension suspen-sion that he was able to get Mr. Harrison to go back with Mr. Roundy. Mr. Harrison claimed he had been ordered off the job by Mn Roundy, and that not until the afternoon of the third day of suspension was be told he could go back to work. Mr. Jacob personlly paid tribute to the quality of Mr. Harrison's work in the utility department.-He department.-He claimed, however, that the utility department should not be made to pay wages for time not worked, unless the department itself was the cause of it. The issue of Mr. Harrison at times became obscured by the argument of whether or not the CIO had any agreement with the for sale real est atr uumies Doara. ine board mem- T owner, must sell immediately. 4- bers have repeatedly denied there! thTee biSckSfrrr1 EST 2 W agreement whatever, except oo late For Classification FOR SALE MISCELLANEOUS OCKER Spaniel pups.
