j. p. SHELLY SAYS DOCK BOARD
HAS NO RIGHT TO DIS
MISS HIM.

Another suit growing out of the
illegal dismissal of civil service en-
ployes by the w. o. Hudson Dock
Board in 1919, was filed in the civil
district court Saturday. In three
previous similar suits, the courts or
dered the discharged employees rein
stated and further ordered that they
should be paid back salary less such
salary as they had earned in other
positions which they had occupied
subsequent to their dismissal by the
Hudson board.
Joseph P. Sicily, plaintiff in the
suit filed Saturday against the board
of commissioners of the port Of New
Orleans, related that he qualified I'M
der civil service examination for a
position in the employ Of the dock
board on February IS, 1919, and was
made chief Of the time inspection
department, at a salary Of $225 a
month.
Skelly was occupying that position
when on October Is, 1919, soon after
the Hudson board came into power
he was dismissed. He now asks the
court to order the dock board to re-
instate him and to pay him back
salary at $225 per month, from No
vember 1, 1919 up to and until the
board reinstates him. This back sal
airy would amount to date to $4,000.
He alleges that he made repeated
futile demands to be reinstated and
to be paid back salary.
