\ great many estimates have been
made as TO the extent OF the Astor real
estate holdings In this city, but il has

now possible to get definite idea Of

is IN Manhattan. but Mr.. Astor has In
recent years added somewhat TO his
holdings In the Bronx until these lat
ter properties represent about $4,000
600.
What annual income Lord Astor de-
riyes from these properties is known
only to his agents here, and the esti-
mates Of outsiders vary greatly. Some
Of his holdings produce a high rate of
income, while some are regarded as
very poor earners. The opinion OF real
estate men as to the average income
from all Of the properties covers quite
wide range. Some guesses are that
Lord Astor receives not more than S..
900 a year from these properties,
while other real estate men place his
annual receipts from this source AT
twice that amount IL his holdings

taking taxes into account, that would

MAY START SUITS ON WESTERN
ELECTRIC COMPANY

ELECTRIC COMPANY ID. ...
The whole story of how the West
ern Electric Co. handled its working
people before the Eastland sunk and
killed 800 of it's wage-earners is go
ing to come out in public hearings
from the looks of things now.
Claims to be filed before industrial
board and suits in circuit court are
expected to bring out the full facts
on these allegations:
Western Electric foremen had
charge of selling tickets to the East
land excursion and when a foreman
asked an employee to buy ticket it
was the same as saying: Come
across or you don't keep your job
here"
The company is an auxiliary of
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. and wanted a big crowd on the
boat and in parades to boost Bell
telephone publicity.
The company has capital stock of
$25,000,000, profits ranges around
$5,000,000 year and it can pay all
claims and hardly miss the money.
The st. Joseph Chicago Steamship.
Co., owner, and Indiana Transporta-
ton Co., lessee of the Eastland at the
time the coffin boat went down, are
bankrupt or so close to it that no
hope is held of collecting from them.
So action will be against Western
Electric Co. This was in effect ad-
mitted by Jesse Wilcox, admin
istrator named by probate court for
Sc estates" of Eastland victims.
81 can not say what our action will
be-" said Wilcox. ct is certain, how
ever, that the owners of the Eastland,
though involved in the responsibility, /
could not pay proper damages if |
claims were sustained. When suits |
are begun they will be prosecuted |
