Salary Suit Victory Brings Veiled Threat A veiled threat was made today that city employes are flirting with a permanent salary cut if they start wholesale suits as a result of the legal triumph of Arthur A. Fortin, city fireman, who sued for return of $709.28 allegedly due him for a 15 per cent salary "donation" that he did not sign away during the administration of former Mayor Oneil Deroy. If all of Fortin's associates, estimated at about 40 firemen and police, are successful in similar suits the city stands to lose about $27,000. And it all employes who failed to sign start successful suits the city is in danger of losing approximately $200.000 as a result of the court declion. The School Department employes, estimated at about 250.
apparently are not involved because they signed releases for the school committee. Both Mayor Anthony J. Stonina and City Solicitor Stanley F. Closek did not care to be quoted this afternoon on that feature of the decision which stated "An executive reduction in salary of a single officer or employe in the civil service. or of selected individuals in that service, requires just cause, reasons specifically stated in writing, and a hearing, and gives rise to a right to a judicial review in a district They wish first to read the entire decision before taking issue with the idea that either Fortin or the 40 firemen and police were singled out for the reduction.
The fact is that every official and employe took the 15 per cent cut, all the way up to the mayor. However, Atty, Closek stated there is no chance for a review the full bench of the state supreme court makes a ruling. The solicitor then bases his hopes for no additional suits on "fair play" of the employes and public opinion. In each case, including Fortin's. associates, a separate suit will have to be filed, he said.
It employes insist on 'entering such suits wholesale, the city officials, probably backed by the Emergency Finance Commission and the general public, will have to reduce salaries by ordinance in defense of the city's finances, he contends. Once the salaries are reduced, it will be hard to have them restored to the old figure. The man in the street, who has been without a job for many months, will not feel tolerant to city employes who are trying to get back the salary cuts of three or four years ago, said. morning stated that, for One of the city this employes, himself, he would be satisfied to waive -his rights to enter a suit against the city and let bygones be bygones.

Most of his business at that time was confined to ocean travel to the British Isles. He often recalled in late years the changes that have taken place in the travel business, from small ships and coach-type trains to the modern typ vessels and streamline trains of today.

many successful trips to Europe.

One of his favorite sparring partners was T.
P. O'Connor, who died recently. When boxing became too strenuous he turned his attention to walking, but he still liked to listen to poxing bouts on the radio. In fact, this was the. only entertainment that would keep him up beyond his regular retiring hour.
He was known as a keen student of the Irish language and history and spoke Gaelic fluently. As a young man he opened a school here for the development of the Irish tongue, which he taught for several years. During the World war Mr. Hobert served on the local Draft Exemption board, to which he was appointed by the war-time President, Woodrow Wilson. He served as chief ranger and secretary of the Foresters of American here for many years and was a member of Div.

Mr. Hobert retired from active business in 1932 and since then his main interest was centered around his grandchildren.
He continued, however, his daily walks of four to six miles per day up to the time he was taken, ill, He leaves one daughter, Mrs. John R. Lynskey; two sons, Jerome T. and Roland Hobert, associated with their father in the funeral business; four grandchildren, Gail and Margo, John and James P. Hobert, 2d; three sisters, Mrs.
