investigation, Mr.. Hettrick charging
that the cards and other data had

According to witnesses. Drindell had
absolute control over the. 115, 900
union men in the Building Trades

Throughout the hearings have beer
marked by sharp clashes between Mr..

Since Become One Of The
Most Important In The
Country.

New York. Nov. 25.-Starting with
sslight rumble in 1919, investigation
of.New York's building trust has
gained such momentum in the last
few weeks that its roar has been heard
from coast to coast.
Here are q few of the results to
date:
". The city Of New York already
has rescinded several contracts for
pubic work reaching into the millions
y now. has considered the advisa-
btitty of ~cancelling all contracts for
public buildings, lest the trust" had
ashand in the bidding.
s2.. One Observation-Disclosures per-
3ury-has been returned by the grand
jury and threats of more criminal
PROSECUTIONS are in the air.
the record Of the joint Legislative COM
mittee investigating the trust has
given hints that combinations in re-
stratnt of trade, charged by commit

scope.
~ Sensational disclosures have at
trActed the attention of the depart
ctal official to watch, developments,
: and! the senate committee IN produce
lon and reconstruction, which, with
Subpoena power, has itself studied the
housing situation throughout the
country.
Samuel Untermyer, who is con-
Quoting the investigation for the joint
legislative committee after claiming a
year ago that he had Established a
clear case Of criminal conspiracy" in
the building trades. is confident that
the inquiry soon will ssunl wider
scope. He has openly charged, that

in New York and other cities OF the
state became more discomforting. the
legislature took notice OF charges that
a combination in the building trades
was holding the construction situation
In q vise-like grip, and ordered a
sweeping inquiry.
Mr.. Untermyer was asked to take
charge. Meeting In the city hall on
October 20, the joint Legislative com
counsel proceeded to unfold from wit
nesses astale OF al alleged CON
tractor-labors combine" which re-,
called the reign Of Sam Parks, corrupt
New York labor leader, who died in
prison in 1904 after having been cor
'victed of extoFting sums from con-,

Mr.. Untermyer. who promised to send
prices 'tumbling by smashing the al
legged trust and putting these GRIM
mails behind the bars where they be-
long, New Workers are crowding
their way into the city hall each day
the committee sits.
All, types are to be found there in
the aldermanic chamber. Affluent
bankers jostle grimy laborers while
watching an array of millionaire
builders, labor leaders and lawyers
pass in and out Of the witness stand
under the merciless fire of committee
counsel. Nv .es5
Witnesses Squirm.
Many OF these. witnesses are g to
squirm under the volley of questions.
IOnce in a while one pleads for mercy
as Mr.. Untermyer pins him down.
"For Gods sake, Mr.. Untermyer,
don't, sacrifice me on this altar i'm

fed to the domination of certain in
my doors closed with a million dollars

But. day after day, the investiga-
ton goes on before crowds of wit
nesses, and in seclusion a grand jury
goes over testimony from the hearing
selected for it's attention.
Constantly there occur mention of
a "code of practice" This cryptic
term crops out ever and again among
charges that combinations exist among
building men to restrict outputs, con-
troll prices and choke competition.
One witness admitted that a certain
trade was controlled the nation owe.
