other class of underpaid labor, would
combine their strength into organiza-

a cause for gratitude that few pri-

But the present aim of the commission
Is To put the bridge loop In operation as
early as possible. 50 that passengers from
Brooklyn over the williamsburg Bridge
will not have to change at Delaney

The reason for this il that covered

The principal danger from an uncOv-
