officials OF the international Associa-
ton OF Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, who, it has been shown eX-
pended thousands OF dollars for the
destruction OF life and property.
The speech of Seidel, referred TO

secretary of the Iron Workers Inter
national union, to unionize the men.
He said he found a reward was offer
