PRObERS GRILL
HYLAN; $4,000
STRIKE HAZARD
New York Mayor Tries
to Turn Inquiry Into
Circus, Charge.
Hearing Interrupted by
Spectators, Who Hiss
at Rulings Made.

New York, Nov. 12.-(By the Asso.
uous session with Mayor Hyland, the
joint legislative committee investigating
the building trust" Friday heard tes-
timony. alleging the payment of $50 900
by building contractor to Robert p
Brindell, president of the building
trades council, for "strike insurance"
Testimony by Hugh H. Robertson of
a building firm that he had paid this
amount as part payment on an agreement
to pay the labor leader 1000 for pro-
lection against strikes came as a climax
to the afternoon session of the commit
tee, which spent the day probing into the
city's school limestone contracts.
Mayor Is Persistent.
Despite protests by Samuel Inter
meyer, the committees counselg that
Mayor Hylan was trying to turn the
hearing into Circus" and ''this order
ly investigation into general beer gar
den,' the mayor persisted throughout
the session to get n letter before the
committee relieving him Of any respon-
sibility of having the school building
contracts changed from terra cctta to
limestone. Failing in this, the mayor
gave the letters to newspapers for pub
tication.
Many times the committees hearing
Was interrupted by scenes of disorder
in which the spectators participated ex-
pressing their disapproval of the COM
mittee's ruling at one time with a storm
of kissing.
The testi nony by Robertson, whose
concern has building contracts for the
Cunard pier terminals in New Jersey,
a project involving $50, 100000 and S4O,-
100000 revealed new form of alleged
graft, as the builder said he paid the
money not only for insurance against
strikes but for a 'lot of information as
to future labor conditions.
First payment $4,000.
Robertson testified he had agreed to
pay Brindell total of $4,000 on
March %. placing the money in $500
and $1,000 bills on the seat of an auto
mobile in which they were riding, saying
That's your first payment on account"
About May Z. the witness said he
rode around the block" with the labor
leader and left S6,149 on the seat when
he left the machine. The third payment |
of 1881, he said, was made on May II, |
on the first floor of the Guaranty Trust |
building Two more payments of 81 900 |
each, Robertson added, were made to |
Rrindell in September and October, after /
"a ride around the block" and hotel |
dinner.
Robertson said the checks drawn to
furnish the cash for Brindell had been
charged to ''preliminery expenses and |
that the amounts were added to the con-
tract figures.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We have a new bargain in farm
land which is hard to beat,-245 acres
of land for $17150.00 nearly all till
able, 100 acres to wheat this year, &c
acres alfalfa. Crop goes with place
on terms to suit purchaser.
By the way, we thought that a jolt
like the one last week would stop
an ordinary rock crusher. Some peo-
pie however, can't take a hint,-must
be kicked on the shins, L guess. Very
well, here goes,-do the tax payers of
this highway district realize their
road funds are being squandered for
roads, the like of which is being
abandoned and torn up by progressive
communities all over the world
Yes, we have 302 acre farm, 100
acres tillable, 65 acres to winter
wheat, extra good Improvements, with
crop for $3.50 per acre, on easy terms
at that.
The legislature which passed the bill
providing for highway districts put a
provision in the bill requiring a com
petent and experienced road man as
supervisor. This was put in to meet
the general objection that three or
binary popular taxpayers who might
be selected as commissioners would not
necessarily be competent road builders.
Remember we have threshing out
fits of all kinds for sale, at prices
and terms to suit anyone who may
need them.
Yes, we believe in good roads, but
the only way is to begin by putting
them on a grade. Why not start now
on a road into the Fairview section,
on a grade that we can build on for
all time, instead of spending good
money on something we will abandon
Or buying expensive machinery to
tear up in perhaps less than 5 years
time.
Some very good buys in city proper

school starts.
