UNTIL CURT REVENS Untermyer Causes Postpone- ment of Investigation by Stats _ Industrial Commission. Samuel Untermyer, counset of the riking garment makers*-tmion, to- day told the committep of the State Industrial Commission, which is in- vestigating economic phases of the strike, that his.,clietite refused to Participate in the investigation un- {i the courts had. determined the cause of the walkout. There was sharp debate in the committee room at No. 124 Bast 28th Street, and some heat to the pro- ceedings, which came to an end af- ter an hour’s session. The commit- tee decided to accept, Mr. Unter- myer’s suggestion that action be de- layed until the courts had ruled, and adjourned until convoked by the Chairman. ‘Max D, Steuer, counsel to the manu- facturers, agreed with Mr. Unter- myer a# to the propriety of poat- ponement, and the comment of Chair- man Higgins upon this was thet it seemed to him there was a concerted effort to put the committee “out of} dusiness.” “Has the court the power to make workera work or to make employers work?” asked Marcus M. Marks, one of the committee. “It has been done,” Mr. Untermyer replied, sententiously, “But I don't intend to argue my case here,” he added. Industrial Commissioner Sayer then remarked that there was a difference between the two proceedings, one by the court to establish the jegal rights of the parties to the contract between workers and employers and the other to examine economic conditions of the trade. “So far as we are concerned,” said Mr. Untermyer, “there is only one issue—the contgact. Why this com- mittee should break into this situa- tion at this particular time when the matter is before a judicial tribunal is & little difficult to understand. How- ever, it may have been done before there was knowledge of the injunc- tion proceedings.” * Again Mr. Untermyer arose and de- clared thar he could not recognise the jurisdiction of the committees, adding, “The Commissioner had no right to appoint salaried State officers to make the investigation.” Commissicner Sayer, with added warmth, replied that the members were serving without pay, to which Mr. Untermyer exclaimed, “Why all this heat about it?” “I withdraw the heat,” answered the Commissioner, and called the pels witness, Lovls Lustig, President of tl ufacturers’ Protective As- a ition’ But Mr. Lastig had no chance to testify. The committee talked a moment and thén announced “sATURDAY, D AS Movs.” xéxT |!

Former Comptroller Metz, who was « member of the Hughes Charter Commission and at the same time a city official, shared that view. “The Mayor, L am sure,” said Gov. Miller with a smile, “thoroughly ap- preciates that there is no deeply laid plot in this thing. “Oh, no,” said the Mayor, but not | ! enthusiastically. “That plot was laid when the bill was passed,” put in Comptroller Craig, “and when the companion res- olution for the Meyer Investigating Committee was adopted. That was when the plot was laid, and it has| since hatched and the crop is out.” Comptroller Craig said he had signed the oath two hours after his appointment and wasn't afraid. he} would lose his job and wouldn't be heartbroken if he did lose it. Then he proceeded to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery: “I think this meeting should be de- ferred until the Mayor can determine his standing fully for himself and President Riegelmann also,” said the Comptroller. “I think this commis- sion should have the good will and| the confidence of the government of the community. “There should be a recognition in the organization of its express desire | to the people of this city. Now it} cannot be forgotten ‘nai the measure | under which we have just begun to organize was introduced by Senator Meyer as a compahion of the so- calied Meyer resolution for the in- vestigation of the various activities in municipal government of the city | of New York, and we in the city here have had experience in the way that particular department was con- ducted. “I do not need to go into any de- tails in regard to it, but I think I fair- ly state the public view when I say pressed the people of this city, that it is not concerned so much for the wel- fare of the City of New York aa it has it would be a very unfortunate im: pression to go abroad that this Char- ter Revision Commission, which has origin in the same bit of legislation ur legislation, should ever acquire that character by the people of the City of New York.” The Comptroller brought up the question of the right of the Governor to. designate Mr. Scott as Chairman. He called attention to the fact that Mr, Scott has within a few days ap- peared as counsel for the Transit Commission, the legality of which the city is contesting. He prophesied that the commission would develop into a urajority and minority affair and that the people would regard it as an up- State body interfering with the city. “It seems to me,” he continued, “that the Governor should be the last one to be a party to the creation of the impression that the commission has in any way been packed—if I may use a terse expression.” me called attention to the fact that the charter as revised, according to the suggestions of the commission, will have to come to the Mayor for his signature and that the Mayor un- doubtedly will veto it if there is a auggestion that the home rule rights of the city are violated. In that event, he said, if the Legislature re- passed the measure over the Mayor's signature and the Governor signed it e people of New York would be in the position of haying a charter rammed down their throats. Mr, Craig, who had becn named temporary chairman and hed tarned the ¢ over to Col. Parsons then put Mayor Hylan in nomination for permanent chairman, When the Mayor had been turned down, Mr. Craig moved to lay the nomination of Mr. Scott on the table.
