Zaranko said he was told last spring
by agents from the. Brindell council that
the members Of ne union could come
into the trades organization az indlvid-

The stipulation was that each may pay
$50 initiation and SO week tribute.
AS the house wrcclSers had boosted their

$40 a week was not too much for them

That little settlement would have
retted the graft ring 50 goo for initiation

was that the union turn over all its

The house wrecking graft hit upon

developed when 1t was learned that one
contractor carting away the wreckage

of handling 1000 loads, while another
contractor has paid $500 for handling
