Charges Political Animus.

Senator Walker replied that the Meyer
committee was created solely for po-
litical purposes and that 1t had not ac-
comp.ished a constructive result. lie
said:
"This has been the first committee OF
its kind that relied entirely on star
chamber proceedings. II it had not been
for the courts none OK its proceedings
would have been out in the open. It's re-
ports will be merely for consumption In
the next Gubernatorial campaign. You
are doing the most unsportsmanlike
thing ever heard of--taldng money
from the New York city taxpayers to
make reports eriticizing and maligning
them in the hope of getting a political
victory next fall. II the people UNDER
stand this thing you may have the same
kind of reverse English next fall as In
the city last fall
Senator Walker declared after the ses-
sion that he would make his principal
fights against the Meyer committee
when it's bills and recommendations are
submitted 20 the Legislature. That may
rot be until an extraordinary session
this summer.
Gov. Miller has said he believed the
New York city charter revision recon-
mendations should be considered at an
extraordinary session Of the legislature
when no other matters were before It.
The efforts OF the legislative leaders to
finish the regular session before the end
of March make II unlikely that any New
York city legislation will be taken up
now

Frederick Sullivan, counsel for Miss

Of the restaurant. who was also ar

Magistrate held both Sachs and Miss
Harvey in $500 bail for Special Sessions

LOCKWOOD WITNESS
TRIED FOR DEFIANCE
Detective for Iron League Ac-
cused Of Contempt for With
holding Papers.

Robert ]. Foster. private detective
in the employ OF the Iron League. was
placed on trial yesterday before JUS
tice wasservogel in Supreme Court
charged with contempt OF the Lockwood
committee. This is the first trial of its
kind since the committee began its In
quiry into the building industry.
Foster. who Is supposed to have had
many documents bearing on the struc-
turaI steel industry. was ordered on De-
cember 16. 1920. to produce them. He
refused and was indicted on December
23. of the same year. for violation OF
section 1890. OF the penal law. which
make 1t misdemeanor to refuse to
produce records subpnnaed by q legis-
lative committee.
According to the outline of the case
given to the jury by Ferdinand Pecora,
Assistant District Attorney. Foster en-
pIoyed detectives who posed as laborers
and were admitted to union ranks and
meetings. They gathered information
which Mr.. Pecora said would show how
the Iron League had attempted to con-
troll the structural steel market in an
effort to destroy unionism. The trial
will be continued to-day.

AMERICAN IRON ONLY
FOR NEW HUDSON TUBES
Notification GiUen to Pro
spectiUe Tunnel Bidders.

Resolutions were adopted by both the
New York and New Jersey State Tunnel
Commissions at meetings yesterday in
the Hall of Records declaring that they
would not favor subcontracts for cast
iron segments manufactured in foreign
countries. Copies of the resolutions will
be sent by registered mail to-day to all
OF the $50 purchasers of copies of the
tunnel plans and specifications.
The action resulted from an inquiry
place. prospective bidders. The firm
constructed the Is. r. T. Montague
street tunnel and the Interboroughs
tube under the East River. The sub
contract for cast iron segments win
amount to $4.000.000
1t was felt by the Tunnel Commission
that their attitude regarding foreign
cast iron should be made known before
the bids for the construction OF the
Hudson River tube and the Jersey land
shaft are opened next Tuesday. Some
of the bidders have thought they could
buy iron at low prices abroad because
Of cheap foreign labor and low exchange
rates
One reason for objectng to cast iron
segments from abroad Is the difficulty
of inspection at the place of manu-
facturc. Foreign standards also are not
as high as those here. and foreign
manufacturers are more subject to
labor and political disturbances. The
commissioners also felt that. as the tube
is a public undertaking, its construction
should be made to help both American
labor and manufacturers.
Tho bids next Tuesday will cover all
compressed air work. and arc expected
TO approximate $4,000, 900. The New
York land shafts at Canal and Wash
ngton streets have been completed.
Contracts, for the approaches will not
he let until 1923. and 1t Is expected the
tunnel will be finished by 1925.

Pleads for Home Rule.

The Mayor opposed the Port Authority
plan on the ground that, through amend
nent of the original statute. the city had
been robbed of representation on that
body: that II was violation Of home
rule that II had refused to confer with
the city regarding the city's port plan,
and that IL sought to cocrce the city into
accepting the Port Authority plan. It
was stated also that the Port Authority
proposes to build up for itself the
