The letter, in which Mr.. Craig de-
clined to attend conference on trac-

up largely of criticisms.
The conference ended before noon,
but the letter, which arrived before it

few hours, according to witnesses
Twenty copies were given to the press
by Charles F. Kerrigan. secretary of
the Board of Finance, after he had in
formed Mr.. Craig, his chief, that "it
was red-hot letter"
Attorney Edmund L. Mooney, counsel
for Mr.. Craig, indicated the defense
will be that the publication of the let

for publication by the secretary of the
Board of Finance cannot be held
against Mr. Craig, and that Mr.. Craig
therefore, can be guilty of no charge

expenditure of public funds, under the
subsidy of the Cummins- Esch law. in
an effort to break the strike of 5000
New ork harbor workers. was charged
mere tonight by officials of the ma
rlrc unions. They declared they will
ask for a Senate investigation Of the
situation.
Frank +. Walsh, former chairman of
the War Labor Board. and Joseph w.
Folk, former Governor of Missouri and
at one time chief counsel for the Inter
state Commerce Commission, were re-
tanned to-day as counsel by the strikers.
They Will ask for an injunction to pre-
vent the railroad and lighterage com
panles from evasions of the eight hour
provision of the Adamson law.
Captain William A. Maher, vice
president and secretary of the Marine
Workers Affiliation of the Port of New
\ ork, tonight made the following
statement:
The Adamson eight-hour law de-
hberately is being broken by the rail
roads and lighterage companies.
The facts are being laid before the
Senate, with demand for an investi-
cation. We desire particularly to call
to the attention of the Senate that the
railroads. with their earnings guaran-
teed under the Cummins- Esch law, have
embarked on an ORGY of extravagan nee
IN their effort to break the strike.
We have affidavits to prove that
wages as high as $50 day, with food,
housing, automobile TRANSPORTATION to
and from work and the services of in
dividual armed guards, are being given
by these companies to strike breakers
The companies well can afford to spend
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars in
this fight against the workers when
under the Cummins- Esch law their
earnings are guaranteed b. the tax
payer.
The transfer of lighterage service
by the railroads to dummy independent
companies for the puDose of gougine
rates Of $3.50 and S. ton for lighter
age, for which the government has fixed
price of SO cents. readily can be
proved by investigation.
''ln any event the independent COM
panies are engaged in interstate com
merce, and are bound to obey the eight
hour regulations Of the Adamson law
