- Lathing Association are held for de-
NEW YORK. Jan. wand—The great
banking and insurance companies. are
mgabout to be given a searching inquiry
by the :oint legislative committee in-
vestigating the “building trust". which
will soon begin an extended probe of
the loan market.
This committee. which has startled.
the nation with its amazing revela-
timid regarding labor union graft and
building material “rings". Samuel Un-
termyer. its counsel, has announced
will now seek to prove that the/banks
and saving banks have funds available
to invest in mortgages and thus aid
the building boom. .
Mr. Untermyer has stated that he
is prepared to show these money lend-
ing institutions that they will be bet-
ter off by furnishing money for hous-
ing. Through publicity. he adds. he
hopes to break down the present ul-
ieged “bonus" system of loans and
high interest rates.
Without mortgage money building
operations cannot be resumed on a
scale wide enough to provide 126. 000
homes now needed in New York. the
committee counsel has stated.
Already according to Mr. Untermyer.
the great industrial and financial in-
terests of New York are carrying on
an “insidiuous campaign. through hir-
ed propagandists" to defeat the com-
pleted work of the committee in in-
vestigating the loan market.
Testimony purporting to show that
combinations of building material men
and grafting labor chiefs have robbed
the public of 4‘millions of dollars has
already been heard by the committee
Despite alleged political and finan-
cial opposition, the committee contin-
ues to plunge ahead with its wark and
is unraveling facts that are attracting
nation-wide atteltion.
Three grand juries are diligently at
work grinding out indictments on. eti-
dence furnished by the committee. but
they are so far behind in their work
that an aditional panel is to be drawn.
More than 120 indictments have
been returned against builders. mater-
ial dealers and labor leaders. charging
extortion. perjury. violation of the
state anti-trust law. destruction of re-
cords. grand larceny and contempt oi’
the legislature.
One of the first results of the in-
quiry which began October 20. last.
was the disbanding of the Cut Stone

John '1‘. Hettrick. lawyer. and alleg-
ed promoter of the several "rings”. is
under indictment for violation of the
state anti-trust acts. and is held in
8100.000 bail. He is alleged to have
devised the "code of practice" under
which bids were matched and prices
boosted by collective action.
Fifty-two members of the Master
Plumbers' Association are among the
recent members of the alleged build-
ing trust to be indicted for violating
the state anti-trust act. and are held
in $5.000 bail each. Sixteen members
of .the Employing Metallic Furring and
stroying evidence. which they admit
they had desired to keep out of the
hands of hhe committee.
Three wealthy business men are
under indictment for contempt. They
are John A. Phiibrick. millionaire
head of the Builders' Supply Bureau.
and Joseph Penny. treasurer of the
bureau: and Wright D. Gross. the
“brick king,’ who was actively inter-
ested in the Asociatlon of Dealers in

also indicted for acting in restraint of
trade.
Indictments are expected soon in the
cement. brick. sand. lath and plaster.
and marble combinations——which are
alleged to have sent prices \ip from
100 to 800 per cent.
Robert P. Brindell. presi ent of the
Building Trades Council. held under
$100,000 bail on indictments charg-
ing extortion and attempted extortion
from builders: is‘scheduled to go on
trial earl yin January. his prosecution
to be conducted by Mr. ,Untermyer.
Several of Brindell's aids are also held
for the alleged. extortion or graft from
contractors.

er, held on a 'charge of perjury. will

Must Regulate All Vehicles.
“The present body of law govern-

it actually does provide proper regu-
lation for motor vehicles. it does noti
provide sufllcient regulation for other
elements making up the complex con—
ditions of ufi: There is not any
adequate law "'ernlng the manage-

ing the conduct of pedestrians which
can be enforced so as to properly
regulate these other participants in

and the State ought to provide suf-
ficient men. suiliciently equipped
with legal power to properly patrol
all such roads all the time.
Need Police Power. J
"Vi'ith the unsettled conditions fol-
lowing the war in view, it is neces-
sary that such a force as that re-
ferred to should have limited police
power. or be in toueh with some or-
ganization having police power. so
as to be able to co-operate on serious
occasions.
To Enablish Six Stations. \
“The department is asking for an
increase in its inspection force which
will bring its motorcycle force up to
a sufficient power to place twenty-.
eight inspectors definitely upon the'
roads. It ii planned. if such power is
granted and an adequate appropriap.
tion made. to establish six stations in I

operate these stations by generalJ
orders from a central omoe at Hart-
ford. The results of the. patrol. as it
has exisged during the past year.

to cope with the increasing compli-
cations created by travel on the high-
ways. supervision is necessary through-
