both on the Rapid Transit contractors and
on outside employers for an increase OF

with the agreement made with the subway

Quinlan tried to talk. So did many OF
the delegates. The chairman banged his
gavel and told the sergeant at -arms to
remove Quinlan if he didn't sit down, and,
expanding his chest. the sergeant -at-arms
bore down on Quinlan.

After few minutes he came back again
in time to hear the chairman repea: to
another organization that the c. F. U.
would not give lis sanction to any violation
OF it's agreement with the rapid transit
