labor strikes and general conditions ex-

hours sleep out of every twenty four
during their last two months in France.
When they did sleep, he said, it was in
the factory beside their cars.

with partnership in this concern by
Samuel Untermyer, who suggested
that he and Holland & Co. be sued
for a part Of the city's 100000 loss

port in two weeks.
Mayor Hylan expressed hope before
the Board OF Estimate that the Lock-
wood committee soon would turn 70 the

panies and financial concerns which
Mr.. Untermyer had mentioned. Once
the Mayor suggested "a case over in
Jersey that might be Investigated,
too, that might not look very well to
a certain gentleman"
Outside OF this discussion a large
part OF the Estimate Board inquiry
was devoted to the production Of evil

opposed, the right of way in the
