He, of course, knows why he opposed it,
and doufcbless does the Speaker, but no
body else does."
Mr. Untermyer meets Gov. Miller's
suggestion that because the life of the!
Ijockwood committee hiis been extended j
such legislation as the bill for the State
Trade Commission may safely wait an
other year by pointing out that under
its powers the Lockwood committee may
only deal with trade combinations in
the building trades, and further suggests
as a reason fov a special session to pass
the bill that it would take at "least six
months to get an origanizatIon together
and data collected and three months
thereafter to issue the necessary licenses
provided for in tlie bill. By that time,
he points out, tho life of the committee j
would have about expired in any event
and further investigation of these evils ;
by a committee of the Legislature made
unnecessary.
Mncholil AVnnieil l.ncknnnd,
Speaker Machold, who was accom
panied to the city yesterday by (Jeorge
A. Glynn, Republican State Chairman,
issued a statement last night In repiy
to Mr. Untermyer's charts published

was issued with tho approval of Mr.
Glynn, said:
"When if was decided that the Legis
lature would do all in its power to bring
about an early adjournment one #if tho
first things I did was to notifV the
Ijockwood committee on February I that
the tentative date of adjournment was
March 17, and I requested that the |
legislation to bo proposed .should bo in
troduced at as early a date as possible
in order that the standing committees
in the Assembly could provide for pub
lic hearings and take action on the legis
lation before the closing days of the
session.
