CALLS ON COUNCIL

Members Of the Committee represent
ing the various fire committees con-
ferred with the fire committee of Coun-
Gil last night in an effort to reach an
amicabe adjustment of the controver-
sy over the suspension by Fire Chief
Golden Of the Fame Company because
it went into service at the Bethlehem
steel Company's fire and explosion at
New Castle last week
The committee Of nremen included
former COuncilmen Michael F. Cannon.
William II. Murphey Martin " Farrell
and George +. Donohue.
Mr.. Cannon was the principal spokes-
man for the committee, and after talk
ing over the situation he asked il there
was not some way the controversy
could be adjusted amicably
President of Council Lyons replied
that so far as Council was concerned
the only thing that could be done was
for Fire Chief Golden to rescind his
order suspending the Fame Company
from service.
Councilman Arthur Johnson. Of the
First ward. chairman of the FIRE com
mittee Of Council, stated that he was
sorry the Fame Company had to shoul-
der the responsibility for its action in
going to New Castle when he was or
sponsble for the company going. Coun-
Gilman Johnson said that while he
thought Chief Golden had legal right
to suspend the Fame Company, he did
not think the chief had a moral right
to do so under the circumstances
Councilman Johnson said that the call
for assistance TO New Castle was re-
ferred to him after Chief Of Police
Black had been unable to get in COM
munication with Chief Golden Mr.
Johnson said that, under the crcum-
stances, as chairman Of the fire COM
mittec Of Council, he ordered the Fame
Company to go TO New Castle. When
some of tile Fame men raised a ques-
tion as TO whether thew should 20.
Councilman Johnson said that under the
circumstances he would stand back of
the company and also would go 10 New
Castle with the apparatus, which he
did He said he understood at the time
that the call for assistance was eX-
tremely urgent
Following the meeting last night the
peace committee got together and
agreed TO meet with Chief Golden to-
night and urge upon him that the order
suspending the Fame Company be re-
scinded and that the company be again
placed on the list Of active fremen, or
