According to the Political Graveyard site, he was "chair, New York State Public Service Commission, 1913-15; removed from office in November, 1915, because he owned stock in a company under commission jurisdiction." politicalgraveyard.com/bio/mccall.html

    amazing on so many levels!
  • aware health said:
    Like a lot of Bain's NYC photos, this one was apparently taken near their offices on Union Square -- looks like the Everett Building in the background ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett_Building_%28New_York%29 )

    The issue of alien workers was clearly a hot topic in late 1914. NYT of November 24, 1914 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50714FF3E5E1373... "MAY TEST ALIEN LAW IN CRIMINAL COURT; Utilities Board Will Decide Today on Steps to End Muddle Over Subway Work. CONTRACTS ARE INVOLVED It May Be Urged That in Signing Them Contractors Accepted the Law as It Stands."
