District Attorney Jerome came UP to-day 70
speak IN BEHALF OF the Prince bin. which makes
4 q crime for IN employer 70 brtbe q meTnber OF
slabor union. The bill is designed 20 enable the
District Attorney 10 prosecute both the en-
ployer and the iaborer 81 cases euch as tle
Parks instance OF last summer. Although he
fst az that tire that he ought to be able 10
prosecute those who corrupted the delegates.
Afr Jerome was p0werless. In supporting the
Prince bnl Mr. Jerome proposed tGo ali.enl-
'neuts. both of which ASSEM- lyman Prince &C
copied. one changes the crime from a felony 70
misdemesnor; the other introduces the same
exemption from prosecution for a witness that
Mr.. Jerome is attempting 10 have passed in his
amendment 10 the gambling Law.
DELEGATES on COMPANIES PATROLS.
In opening HIS plea fo- the Prince b!n Mr..
Jerome declared that certain building companies
IN New-york carried delegates on their pay
rolls, and also asserted tiat a former member Of
The Assembly had been paid by a certain con-
EtructlOn company while in Office. He de-
Ecribed a situation IN Nevr-Yorz CITY, during the
building trades strike whore seventeen OF the
best known cabinet making Arms In the city
were forced 10 raise a corruption fund Of thou
sands OF dollars. with which they bought Eve
delegates 10 the council and put che money in
the hands CT a certain construction company.
AR Jerome argued that the pres n biz would
give tLe AUTHORITIES the same hold on the en-
poyers that the eNtortioL act did or the en-
plOyed III that situation. he argued. with the
realization that they were becoming liable 10
prosecution. the employers would l0t brlla the
delegates unless the money were forced from
them boy methods that would at once lay The
people employing them open TO the charge Of

Nr. Jerome declared that be understood the
represeutatives OF some employers were already
