OPPONENTS TO MERGE

Danger OF building tieup was defi-

Six arbitrators appointed by the

OF Samuel Untermyer. 120 Broadway.

American Federation of Labor and the
rival unions of hod carriers, over whom
buiIders and bricklayers last week
agreed to a truce until December 81.

Mario Meyer. a widow who runs the

from her.
Tie told rne could get party and
order liquor and he would pay the BILL

nate and Meyer forfeit 5000. F'uscato
said that he was not paid by Bingham

which he turned over to Bingham the
next day. Friendship for Bingham, he
testified, was the only thing that had
impelled him to go after the evidence.

binary thias that you should be asked
