Judge Knapp and Commissioner Hangar announce that they have selected Judge Chambers to serve on a panel of three mediators in a 1913 attempt to forestall a firemen's strike on eastern railroads. Chambers' portrait, also taken on this occasion: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3775426652/in/p...

I think Chambers might be younger here. There are two dates. One upper left center, look like 8/8/12, and the other on the top right edge looks like 4/14/20. A curiosity.

I started an entry for Chambers: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lea_Chambers

Thanks for your helpful comments about the identities of these men and for correcting the typo in Hangar's name. The two dates may reflect date of creation (8/8/12) and date of later use (4/14/20). We will update our information when we reload the database.

New York Times story (February 28, 1913) says that Judge Martin A. Knapp [not W. A. Knapp, as given in photo caption] and G. W. W. Hangar [NYT misspells his name as Hanger] will select third man to serve on a three-member arbitration panel: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D04E2D6163FE633A... They selected Judge Chambers; apparently this is a press conference on March 8, 1913, at which Chambers made his public debut. The reversed date on the Bain negative appears to say 1912, which must have been an error made in haste; the year was 1913.
