the case be adjourned until May 3.
Magistrate James ". Short granted the
request and paroled Mr.. Colgan in Mr..
Kesselman's custody until that time.
Neither principal would make a state
ment.

affair quiet and to prevail upon Mr..
Lantry to keep it out of the police court
he was determined to take action and
he threatens to bring suit for damages
in the Supreme Court. 1t was learned
yesterday that the alleged assault took
place about o'clock in the morning and
that many members prominent in the
political and business life of the borough
witnessed the affair. 1t occurred In the

GOMPERS ADMITS
UNION LABOR EVILS
Continued from First Page.

the necessity for fixed labor scale as
a factor in the relief OF the housing
situation and a stimulant to building.
He did not regard it as a necessary
basis upon which contractors should
figure their estimates. There should
be approximate stability, but not fixed
wages" he explained, and chung to his
contention that labor at all times
should be free to accept anything that
employers offered.
Mr.. Gompers admitted, however. that.
generally speaking. unions should use
their influence to have their members
stand by and live up to agreements,
but he was emphatic in his protests
against any suggestion of legislative
action that would give the courts
authority to compel such adherence.
Then you admit there IL a wrong.
but you are not ready to concede the

mot by the state" was the reply.
Mr.. Gompers approved State regula-
tion of associations OF employers. but
was brought up abruptly when he sug-
gested association OF contractors. Mr..
Untermyer asked:
Don't you know that there is none?"
Mr.. Gompers was Of the opinion that
the contractors were organized pre-
sumably to exploit labor. Mr.. Inter
myer replied:
LET me inform you that this COM
mittee has searched for eighteen
months for an association Of con-
tractors and has been unable to find
one. There is none"
Mr. Gonpers was not willing to adj
nit that the bricklayers' union in
New York was guilty Of unlawful
practices even when he was con-
fronted with the consent decree to
abandon such practices. He was asked !:

man into a legal strairJacket," Mr..
Gompers began. but was Interrupted.
THAT is figure of speech said Mr..
Untermyer II am not more anxious to
put them into a straitjacket than You
are. / am anxious to see that these
palpable abuses are abated, so that or
ganized labor will be stronger
We'll, it won't be stronger" retorted
Mr. Gompers.
II think it will be-" said Mr.. Inter
myer
We'll, / know better"
What sort of regulations would you
suggest we make?"
II would recommend patience. All
these abuses have their origin in the
corruption, tyranny and bribery OF the
builders and CONTRACTORS

rupted Mr. Untermyer, without know
ing anything of what you are talking
about. What do you mean by bribery?"

THE big thing for US here at home to

Mr.. Depew does not believe that the

that an amelioration of it will be brought
about.
Looking at the law as / have studied

Mr. Depew never issued messages to

yesterday il there was anything he
would like to say for the benefit of his
friends the country over, he thought a
moment, then replied:
"Yes. 1t is this: Be cheerful. Laugh
