STRIFE AMONG FIREMEN TO BE PROBED FULLY Three Members of Department Are Reinstated, Chief Holt Retains Job on Trial Dissension in the Redlands fire department is in the hands of the fire committee the city council and until an investigation is completed the status remains as follows: Three members of the department, Steele Anderson, E. R. Thomas and Harry Stewart, have been after their dismissal had reinstated, by Chief H. H.

Holt. Complaints against the chief have been placed with the commission by some members the defire, partment and they are being investigated by Councilmen Theodore Krumm and H. H. Ford Jr. The city council meets today but it is not expected to take action other than steps already adopted by its fire commission, which considers placing the matter before the would be premature before the inquiry goes further.

Councilman Krumm, chairman of the fire committee, conferred Monday night with 12 members of the fire department and listened to complaints against Chief Holt, likewise hearing the other side of the argument. Today he issued the following statement, which is the first expression from his committee regarding the situation: "We realize that there is some trouble in the fire department but we believe that the situation has been settled, at least for the time being. Holt holds his posion trial. His status is the same as it was when he took the job to succeed Horace Green. There has been no thought of discharging him.

"The fire commission's investigation will be continued, for possibly a month. Then something may happen, or the situation will be left as it is, although there must be harmony in the department and we believe we will have it from now on. "The trouble which has existed here is no different from dissension which may arise in any organization. Merely because Chief Holt's administration has been criticized is no reason for, finding another chief. We can change the fire department to suit the whims of a minority, particularly if that minority happens to be among call men and not among the regulars who have to work more closely with their superior.

"That is the situation. We will get at the bottom of the trouble in a short time, but at present the fire committee really doubts some factors in the case and is seeking to ascertain facts. The chief wished to dismiss three of the men. Now they have promised to stay with the department and work harmoniously. Perhaps one of the men should have been dismissed, but the chief's opportunity was at the time the trouble came "Put Since then things have worked more satisfactorily." G.O.P.
