BUILDERS SUPPLY
WITNESSES RULED
NOT IN CONTEMPT
Had Refused to Answer In
eliminating Questions at the
Lockwood Inquiry.

Justice McAvoy in the Criminal
Branch Of the Supreme Court to-day
dismissed the indictments for orimi-
nal contempt Of John A. Philbrick,
Joseph Penny aud Wright d. Goss,
leading members OF the Builders
Supply Bureau, because of their refus-
al to answer certain questions put to
them by samuel Untermyer on Sept
30 The justice sustained the conten-
ton of Martin Conboy and George y.
Medale, counsel for the supply
dealers, that their constitutional
rights had been invaded by Mr.
Untermyer and the committee.
The three men when testhying be-
fore the committee refused to answer
questions as to the extent to which
they were responsible for the organi-
zation of the bureau, a trade asso-
citation regulating the sale Of build
ing materials; they based their re-
fusals on the ground that truthful
answers might" tend to incriminate
| or degrade JheIn, buL refused TO say
just how they thought the answers
might get them into trouble.
Nothing short of absolute immun-
ity from prosecution" said justice
McAvoy, "can take the place Of tho
privilege which the fundamental law
offers to witness"
! The Lockwood committee, he said
was not authorized TO offer immunity
| and the accused had the right to TO-
! fuse to answer unless it was apparent
that by no possible construction oil
! their words could they be incriminat-
| ing themselves or giving testimony
! some shred of which might be used
! against them in connection with Other

NO HETTRICK 0. K.
ON Low BID So lob
WENT TO ANOTHER
Error" Found by Him in
Offer Which Was $1,000
Less Than the Next Lowest.

Further evidence Of the whip hand
of John T. HettriciS in ruling the
clique OF plumbing contractors under
the "code of practice" was given to-
day when his trial on charges of con-
spiracy and coercion was resumed
before Justice McAvoy in Supreme
Court, Criminal Branch.
Anthony Clinchy. estimator for the
the Charles N. Darmstadt 60, con-
tractors, told how Hettrick refused
70 o. X. a $4,000 contract and 80
caused the .Darmstadt Company to
lose the job.
Hettrick gave an terror involv-
ing $1,000 or $1,000 as the reason for
refusing his approval, said Clinchy.
Hettrick declined TO point out the
error, although appealed TO by both
Clinchy and Darmstadt.
The bid was prepared for the Fred
F. French Co. on a building at 41st
Street and Madison Avenue, and the
Darmstadt bid turned out to be
$1,000 below the next lowest bidder.
As a result of Hettrick's refusal TO
o. X. it, the bid was not submitted.
Clinchy said his firm Joined the
Hettrick group Of plumbers in Sept,
1919, and handed over the customary
$3.50 limitation fee"
Fred Deegan, Secretary and Treas
urer of Plumbers Union Local No. 46S

Hettrick and labor delegates. He said
he first met Hettrick when he went
TO his office with the Executive Com.
mittee OF the union, including William
L. Doran and William Chapman, two
OF the co-defendants with Hcttrict, to
talk about the code Of practice. About
two months after the meeting, early
in the fall Of 1919, began said he had
met Hettrick in the Master Plumbers
Associations headquarters.
In the meantime, Deegan admitted
a resolution supporting a code OF
practice had been adopted. Under
this document, the plumbers reserved
the right 10 refuse to work for any
master plumber guilty of unfair
trade practices" and to refuse Il
work for any contractor who was no
