NEW MAYOR PUTS HUM N CHiCAGO Cermak, Immigrant Boy, Once Fired From Mine, Hustling Executive. Bpecial Dispateh to The St CHICAGO, May 11 N.A).—Led by & former Tllinois mine boy who was :red for seeking & l;lse |nk wages this “ir four weeks now that one-time rentice miner, Anton J. Cermak, been mayor of Chicago, and already the bold strokes by which he is paint- ing & new picture of municipal govern- ment are beginning to appear on the canvas of the city. Fundamentally Chicago is still the 'm“"fii go-getting city it always has Mayor Cermak has begun to restore order. In the mayor's newly decorated of- fice, on the fifth floor of Chicago's City Hall, one realizes quickly that the im- migrant mine boy has fulfilled his destiny. Getting Ready for Fair. Here, in an ‘appropriate setting, hard-working mayor at the hea far-flung organization that is getting ready for & world fair to commemorate x:\,)perlv the amazing story of Chicago's t 100 years. Already “Tony” Cermak has put new life into Chicago's Police and Fire De- ents. Fach day he is showing it he has an intense and detailed in- terest in the management of the city's schools and the kind of education that is being provided for the half million sehool children. “Big Bill” Thompson's interest, Chicagoans have felt in the declining years of his three terms, was far more general and vague. ‘When two Chicago policemen were shot down on a busy corner by a fugi-| tive bank bandit Mayor Cermak took & hand in questioning the killer, who had been captured by other officers a few minutes later, and was highly in- strumental in securing a confession from the prisoner. ‘When funeral services were held on #uccessive days for those policemen the mayor of the city took time off his manifold duties to attend. The morale of the police department has shown s decided improvement. At & meeting of the City Council Cermak ushered to the rostrum a fire- man who had done yeoman rescue work h the tunnel disaster that took the lives of 12 persons last month. Immediately the city’s firefighters decided anew that their efforts are not in vain, Long Hours on Job. ‘What are Mayor Cermak’s office hours? a question almost as dif- ficult to answer as when it was asked @uring the regime of Thompson, who had pflmedly none.
