WORK HELD UP ON ERECTION
OF $50 HOUSES.
An entirely now phase Of building
graft was introduced into evidence
yesterday by Anthony Brescia, q
young mason contractor. II was par
-icularly interesting to the committee
because BresciR told how he was
forced out of business at time when
he had in hand the foundation work
Of ESQ twos sfamily houses on Univer-
Sity Avenue at 13 cents a square foot
for setting the stone Business Agent
Mazzola, Of the Stone MRSon's Union,
made II impossible for him TO get
union labor after BresciR refused to
conform to the Stone Mason Con-
tractors scale of Is cents a cubic
foot for material and setting. On
this scale Brescia should have
charged about 26 cents for setting the
stone.
Brescia said he Joined sthe Stone
Mason ContrRctors' Association, Of
which Nicholas Conforti was presI-
dent, IN order TO get union labor. The
initiation fee demanded by the asSo-
ciation was $500. Three contractors
were initiated at the Same time aa
Brsscia. One of them cried. he said,
and his initiation fee was reduced 20
$500. Another was not bright enough
to argue we'll with Comforts and had
TO pay $500. Another paid $3.50,
BreBoia, in consideration OF his act
ing as spokesman for the initiates,
was let of for $3.50.
Brescia said the association at ltl
second meeting adopted a scale Of
IS cents a cubic foot instead OF rs
cents, Two cents OF the ten cent in
crease were to be deposited to an as
Bnciation fund which was TO be dt-
Yided between Conforu and MaSzOla

tractors who did not como 70 the
