Petersen, deposed as captain of inspectors by Oakland Police Commissioner Fred Morse, now drop his fight for his second reinstatement and devote all his spare time to his candidacy for Morse's position? Such was the question puzzling everyone Interested in Petersen's long fight when the former Chief of Police and detective captain announced yes. terday that he had gone to work as a private citizen. Petersen yesterday accepted a position as manager of the Waterfront Employers' Association, a San Francisco concern handling "open-shop" stevedores. His appointment to the- position comes at a critical moment in the life of the Employers' Association. Moriday night the Riggers' and Stevedores' Unions withdrew a hundred men from the West Kassan, alleging that union men were discriminated against in favor of tho association men.

Yesterday morning Petersen's son, Cedric, an attorney, appeared before the Oakland City Council, again requesting that his father's back salary claim be allowed. Petersen's reinstatement as captain of inspectors just prior to his last din-charge by Morse came as the result of an order on the commissioner from the Appellate Court, through which the battle was carried. The question of whether the deposed captain has had any Civil Service standing since the time he became Chief of Police prevented majority members of the council from approving the salary claim for the period between his first discharge and his reinstatement, according to tho council discussion yesterday. Commissioner Edwards of the majority faction swung the matter in Petersen's favor by declaring: "Inasmuch as Mr. Petersen was re-Instated by order of the court, I for one, am in favor of granting him his back pay." Brought to a vote, Commissioners Morse and Soderberg asked to be excused, while Edwards voted with the minority members in favor of allow ing the claim of $1,306.60.
