Dear C.B.
I was speaking to Mr. Gray today and he informs
me that Mr. Unger for whom Mr. Emmerglick appeared, had offered
to take $500. from the Globe. This indicates that Messrs.
Emmerglick and Unger would probably take your $2000. if they
could not do any better.
As I stated to you over the telephone, it is
my opinion that Judge Forman has no legal right to make an
award to Mr. Emmerglick. He decided in our favor not because
he wanted to but because he was compelled to in view of the
conclusions he arrived at on the law and the facts. Also, I
doubt whether he would make an award which was not consented
to, although he might.
After giving the matter very thoughtful considera-
tion, It seems to me that we could very well take the posi tion
that no award of any kind should be made and that your com-
pany does not want to pay anything because it feels that
legally no award should be made. If it were my money, that
would be my position. In short, I do not think that you ought
to pay even the $2000. since there is no legal obligation to
pay. If, however, your company wishes to pay its $2000. not-
withstanding that the insurance companies will not pay any-
thing, that is a matter of policy and not a matter of law for
me to decide.

I expect to be in Elizabeth the first four days
of next week, but you can reach me at the office Monday night
around five o'clock.
With kindest regards,
Sincerely
