M. and will join in a pc- tition to the ‘Common ‘Council asking that an ordinance be added‘ making this the «uni- -versal closing hour. Frank Piiiion, president of the Board of Trade, stated today that: a great majority of the ‘busi- ness men are in favor of clos- ing at 7 o'clock on week days and at 10 o'clock on Saturdays, and that a determined effort would be made to make the closing hour, 7 o’clock, except in certain industries which de- pend upon the evening trade for their existance. Jacob Myzel, campaign manager for Clement ‘S. Stew- sky, stated emphatically this morning‘, when questioned as to whether there would be a third party in the at the regular election in Novmber: “You may say for me, that a slate will soon be formed of non-political character to con- test the coming election.

The action is against the City of Lackawa-nna, Anthony J, Falcone, John W. ‘O'Connor’ and Cuthbert E. Reeves. Plaintiffs claim» to ‘be advis- ors of practically the entire steel industry of the world. And, to have designed and in- stalled equipment for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and many other steel plants. They admit, in toto, several of the allegations of one H. L. Gove, that much of their sur-, ‘vey of the local plant is ‘based I upon information received, from plant officials--rather than their employees—when they claim that certain infor- mation they wish suppressed “wv'as unavailable to any other engineer,” and that -certain figures were taken from the. Bethlehem Steel »Corporation figures in ia-rriving at their valuation of the local plant. The papers and figures the Brassent Company has asked the court to -compound were placed in the ‘City's possession by H. -L. Gove, 'a former Bras- sert employee, who resigned from the organization “when he was ordered to base his ‘figures ‘upon: the data furnish~ ed by the plant instead of fig- ures discovered by engineers employed by Brassert,\ Accorgding to the story given Assessor Anthony Falcone by Gove. 1l)e'c‘ision« being with held‘ by Judge Pillion on the inquest and preliminary hearing in ‘the Higgins delath, until that :date, Wednesday afternoon.

The present‘ Assessors and the Democratic candidates for Assessor will give their version of the plant assessment at the meeting next Monday evening- “I believe that there are enough voters in Lackawanna who are more interested in the welfare of the city than they are in the building up of either politiqal machine. Brassert & Company in their complaint allege that their professional standing is jeparodizod through Gove’s turning ‘over information in his possession to the City. Gove alleged that his pro- f'ession'al standing was jeparo- dized when it appeared he was to take the stand and swear to figures he knew were not cor- rect, and not substantiated by engineers employed by the Brasserts. . The action this time, looks as if the corporatioii counsel had \the goods\ on the plant and General Babcock and his «onferees were “up a tree\ on their claim for reduced as» sessment. : A “There is no reason,\ Mr. Pillion told the haaberdashers at the meeting in which the closing hours was decided upon. “why you merchants should pay out more for elec- tricity than you take in. “There are plenty of men, yes and women, who are not controlled heart and soul ‘by either machine who will give the citizens a square deal, and whom I believe will be re- ceived with open arms by the voters of‘ Lackawann'a. “A meeting will be held in the near future to select can- rlidates for the various offices. andl am sure that when we citizens recognize the sterling qualities of these candidates they will flock to the stand- ards represented by these out- standing representatives of the peoples’ interests, Myzel also branded. an ar- ticle in a Buffalo [taper where- in it was stated that the Staw- sky organization would sup- port Tomaka, a falsehood. “The average person can purchase the merchandise you handle before 7 o'clock.\ x _Lgf. »g‘ :7, P-__ Neither Wilber or Fahey -testified at the hearing.
