Fiedler Wins Writ In Police Dispute

The supreme court directed the Huntington civil service commission to appear in Charleston on July 19 and show cause why a writ should not prohibit a hearing for six patrolmen terminated after a six month probation. Fiedler charged that former mayor Claude Swann packed the police and fire departments before his defeat on Nov 3, 1942. Six patrolmen seek restoration to duty, permanent employment and back pay for the period off work. Neale’s term expired within weeks, complicating the commission's action.
