WOULD FIGHT FOR PEACE.
Fefhstrom secured the floor again and
started Out by saying that he and his
followers intended to have peace In the
department. even y they had to fight !,
for II He then Proceeded to hint at
The compact which was entered into
when the resignation Of ex-Chief Hilton
was accepted and Chief Paul was con-
tfmed. He said that there was an UNI
derslandlng that certain things would
not be done (meaning that no attempt
would be made to reinstate Sheets
which was the consideration given for
the support Of the Hilton Republicans
N the confirmation of Chief Paul. and
they had become convinced that the
understanding was to be broken, hence
The fight had broken out afresh.
