90 Women Complain of
Factory's Trip Hammers
Washington Heights Residents
Say Ridgeway Company Main
tains Public Nuisance

The incessant tapping of two trip
hammers in the factory of the Ridge
way Steel Products Corporation, 600
West 133d Street, has caused persons
living in that neighborhood either to
wear ear muffs or keep all their doors
and windows closed. Twenty fashion
ably dressed women appeared yester-
day in Washington Heights Court and
testified that the plant is maintaining
a public nuisance
Edwin H. Ridgeway, president of the
company, was arraigned Before Magis-
tratc Samuel Fleischmann on sum-
mons obtained by Mrs. Marguerata
Parnell Stevens, of $50 West 135th
Street. The case was adjourned until
Friday to give the magistrate time to
investigate. A petition bearing the
names of sixty women, protesting
against the pounding trip hammers,
was filed with the court
Mr.. Ridgeway testified that the trip
hammers strike 800 blows a minute
and that the noise does not interfere
with his hearing over the telephone,
although his desk is only ten feet
away.
