held in 10000 bail yesterday morning
by Magistrate Simms in the Harlem
court. They were members Of the Hud-
son Busters gang. while the men who
were picked out" for them to attack
are said to be connected with the Gopher
gang.
The three men. who were arrested as
a result of the shooting M slightly
wounding Of Barney Weinstein of 6s
Stanton street and Joseph Lavalachi Of
1857 Third avenue. were William Sher-
wood, who gave his address as West

had been started at the kaplan factory
and only fifty girls had quit. leaving

There. he asserted. the union repre-
sentative mad offered him s25 n week TO
go after the guards employed by the
Kaplan concern. Sherwood said that
500 was offered for the shooting Of
Barney weinstein. He charged that
500 additional was to be paid for every
shooting similar to the Weinstein aRair.
