CARDINALE DEFIES
BAFF JUDGE AGAIN
Alleged Gunman Fails to Get
"Protection" From Justice
COhalan.
JEERs AT QUEsTIONER
Refuses to Divulgc Names OF
Murderers, Although He
Knows Them.

Justice Cohalan decided yesterday
that the constitutional rights of Antonio
Cardinale. alleged to be one Of the gun
men in the murder of Barnet BAIT. the
Washington Market poultry dealer. had
not been infringed upon when Judge NC
Intyre ordered him to answer certain
questions under penalty of being indicted
by the Grand Jury.
Cardinale, who Is a prisoner OF the
italian Government and loaned to the
Attorney General Of New York State to
testify in connection with the Bait case.
fiatly refused TO answer questions con-
corning his connection with the alleged
perjury in the Baff case. which is being
investigated by John Doe inquiry.
Following remarks made by Judge
Mcintyre, Walter II. deuel.. on behalf
of Cardinale, sued out a writ OF habeas
corpus, which was heard yesterday IN
chambers by Justice Cohalan. After the
minutes of the John Doe inquiry exam
nation had been read. Justice Cohalan
expressed the opinion that the remarks
made by Judge Mcintyre were more N
the nature of a caution and that Cardi-
males rights had not been invaded in
any way.
''Such rights would have been in
vaded only II the District Attorney had
Actually presented the matter to the
! Grand Jury. AS this has not been done
and as there is no intention of so doing
the writ Is dismissed. This man goes
back as witness" he ruled.

BAD DAY FOR DELAHUNTY
Tidewater BOatmen's Union
Deserts AffiliatiOn Because
of Attack on 0'COnnOr.

Thomas L. Delahunty and the other
of hsrbor boatmen received two set
backs yesterday, which defeated their
efforts to keep all the marine workers
OF strike for the eight hour day.
The first blow came from the president
of the Tidewater Boatmen's Union, John
brennan. He announced that his or
ganiZation had withdrawn from Mr.. Del
ahunty's Marine Workers Afiliation be-
cause as Mr.. Brennan explained
'Delahunty refused 10 retract the
statement which he made in the press
concerning T. W OConnor, our inter-
national president. and SO we have with
drawn"
The attack upon Mr.. O'Connor was
made because he is endeavoring 10 set
tie the strike by having the men COM
promise on a ten hour day and in
creased wages offered by the private
owners. Mr.. Delahunty said O'Connor
was an enemy OF the union for bringing
such proposition before the strikers.
Lighter Captains to Return.
The second blow came from the Lighter
Captains Union. BY vote OF 24s to 154
these men decided yesterday afternoon
tp accept O'Connors offer and they will
return to work with an increase of about
- per cent. or SIS week raise. For
Ave hours the lighter captains wrangled
In their hall, 217 Court street. Brooklyn
Only by the determination of the cap
tains was Mr.. O'Connor's offer given a
hearing. James Mcclure. president OF
the union, who is n friend of Delahunty,
refused to call meeting Of the men,
but they assembled Notwithstanding drew
up n resolution to put the proposal to q
vote and served notice on Mr.. Mcclure.
who was in Delahuntys office. to attend
the meeting.
The result OF the vote was surpris-
ing. Labor leaders thought they had
enough railroad lighter captains in the
meeting to control the vote, as. IL Is
asserted, they did before. These rail-
road men went back to work a few
weeks ago on the basis of eight hours
and increased pay, but thirty days after
Government ownership of the roads
ceases their agreement will be valueless.
and the men know It. Hence the lighter
captains in Brooklyn yesterday accepted
the offer OF Mr.. O'Connor In spite of
their presidents position on the pro-
posal

owners for less pay and poorer work
