From sources close to the city adj

committee to 'study" the Inter
meyer transit plan when it meets
next Thursday as preliminary
move to killing the measure.
AS already indicated by the Daily

whose stock he is now believed to
be heavily interested. The Tam
many politicians further object to
the feature of the Untermeyer plan
which would remove from their
hands a measure of control over the
lines. The Untermeyer plan recon-
mends control by quasi-public cor
poration on which the mayor would
only be one representative.
It is not yet clear whether the
whole Untermeyer maneuver was a
camouflage in order to prepare for
the more complete sell-out or
whether modification of it is in

Induced by the promises of an

without passports and were arrest
ed and thrown into Jail without
trial. Frame described his expert
ence as follows:

almost indescribably dismal condi-

which we were kept, together with
robbers, bootleggers and the scum
of the county. I did not have
single hours exercise all of the time,
nor single change of undercloth
ing for over five months. Although
l had pneumonia and West was
even worse off, we were given only

of quarter, and a can of green
tea holding about a cupful. For

CHILD LABOR IN
N. Y, STATE RISES
100000 Under II Now
in Industry
By LELAND OLDS.
Federated Press.)

The effectiveness of efforts in
New York State to control child
labor through legislation is analysed
in the June issue of the state In
dustrial Bulletin. The figures show
that since 1920 there has been a
downward trend in the employment
of children under 16 years of age.
But the decline in the amount of
child labor is not nearly so great
as the decline in the general level
of factory employment, so that the
proportion of employed children to
the total number of wage earners
throughout the state may actually
have increased.
For 1927 the bulletin shows al
most exactly 100000 children under
II years of age gainfully employed
in New York State. But as GER
tificates for minors between the
ages of 16 and II years have been
required only in the last years,
the 1888 children under 16 years
of age employed in that year will
serve for comparison with the ear
lier years. This figure compares
with 80,771 in 1928 and 82,761 in
1920.
Between 1923 and 1927 the de-
crease in the total number of en-
ployed children under 16 years of
age of whom the state has a record
was about per cent. But between
1923 and 1927 the total number of
workers employed in factories
throughout the state declined more
than IL per cent. Similarly since
1920 the number Of child workers
has decreased about 8 per cent
whereas the number of factory
workers in the state has fallen off
more than Is per cent.

NICARAGUA LOAN
FALLS THROUGH
Bankers Decline to
Participate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (UP).-
For the first time in about 20 years
American bankers have declined to
participate in a loan to Central
America. 1t was definitely learned
at the State Department today that
negotiations for a $12,000,000 loan
to Nicaragua, which the State De-
partment had tentatively approved,
have collapsed.
Officials here and in Nicaragua
have been informed by New York
banking houses, which were asked
to consider the loan, that they dc
not care to take part in the proposed
plan to lend Nicaragua this sum-
despite reports by the recently re-
signed American collector of Gus
toms for Nicaragua, that the Re.
public's finances are in better con.
dition than in many years.
New York bankers did not dis.
close their reason for declining to
handle the proposed loan. In many
quarters, however, the view has
been expressed that their action was
based on congressional and other
criticism Of alleged "Wall Street
interference" in the internal affairs
