In a telegram Senator Robert F. Wagner urged Mr. Lamport to wire his acceptance of the post of mediator in labor disputes offered by the President. The message in full follows:
“By direction of the President you have been appointed on the Regional Labor Board for New York City as one of the members representing industry in mediation of labor controversies in your area. Your acceptance and service will constitute a most substantial contribution of the highest patriotism to the solution of present industrial unrest. Please advise acceptance by wire.”
