investment of upward of $200.000.0 900,
is to be subjected to broadsiSa at
tack by Samuel Untermyer as soon as
the attorney can get the guns of the
Lockwood committee working again.
simultaneously with the receipt of
this advice, which portends an inyesti-
cation on scale even larger than
that heretofore undertaken by the
committee, Mr.. Untermyer was named
as defendant in suit for 100000
damages begun in the United States
District Court by Capt. Robert j. Fos
ter, head of the secret police of the
National Erectors Association, the big
steel combine. Foster is under indict-
ment for his refusal to answer ques-
tions and produce records before the
Lockwood investigators.
Mr.. Untermyers decision to direct the
full force of the inquiry against the
employers association is said to have
at Palm Beach. where the volunteer
counsel to the Lockwood committee is
spending his winter vacation. He is
understood to be greatly incensed over
the failure of the association to oust
certain individuals whose removal he
had demanded. and over the fact that
officers of the association are said to
have thrown down the gauntlet and to
have announced that they have no in
tention of making the changes which he
mas asked for
Through telegraphic communications he
has advised his associates here that he
feels that members of the big employers
combine have failed to live up to prom
ises which they made to him and that
these promises were nothing more nor
less than bluffs.

objection Made to Donne,y.

The retention by the association OF
Samuel Il. Donnelly as paid secretary is
one of the main points of issue. because
Donnelly at the recent trial of Robert
y. Brindell, convicted labor czar, gave
testimony which was generally stamped
MS favorable to Brindell. 1t has been
testified that il was through his con-
tract with the Building Trades Employ
ers Association, which agreed to hire
only his men. that Brindell obtained the
power to practise extortion.
The answer made by the officers OF
the Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton to Mr.. Untermyer's demand has
been merely that they "do not intend to
oust a perfectly competent secretary
simply because he gave testimony that
Mr. Untermyer didn't like" Another
instance Is Otto Eidlitz, who remains a
dominating figure on the board of gov
ernors of the association, despite Mr.
Cntermyer's demand for removal. II
- probable that the public investigation
Of this bod. will begin as soon as pres
sure of legislative business slackens suf-
aciently to permit the Lockwood COM
mittse to meet again.
Capt. Fosters suit against Mr.. Inter
inyer was commenced formally through
the issuance of summons. The COM
paint will be filed within few DAYS by
Austin. McLanahan s. Merritt. attorneys
l39 Broadway. 1t is libel action based
upon statements made by Mr.. Cntermyer
In questioning the private detective at
the committees hearing on December I6
on which day the investigators delyed
deeply into the steel situation.
