declared yesterday that he was
powerless to advance the date OF
the hearing, even If other cases on

poned by mutual agreement. The
United States Radium Corporation

he pointed out.
The court suggested, however,

single purpose OF allowing him to

counsel for the corporation, asked
for time to consider the suggestion
and the court agreed to hear argu-

to 1919. but the women contend that
they were not aware of the effects
