Fund Is Offered in Evil
dence at Trial of Seven

The manner in which recalcitrant
plumbers were brought into line by the
alleged operation of the Hettrick
code Of practice was described yes
terday by John c. O'Neill, master
plumber, of 1900 Broadway. O'Neill
told his story as a witness at the tria
of John T. Hettrck and his six CO.
defendants before Justice McAvoy, on
charges OF violating the state antitrust
law.
O'Neill, describing the manner in
which he joined the famous code"
said that after meeting in Terrace
Garden he had gone down TO Hettcrick' s
office in March, 1919, and that Het-
trick told him that you plumbers
have been doing business in a sNpsh cd
manner. ] can show you how TO stop
In your bids He said that the United
States government had looked with
favor on the scheme, and told me that
any man who went into bankruptcy
seriously affected the United States
government and that was the reason
they looked with favor on it."
Special Deputy Attorney General
Kenneth NJ. Spence, who is conducting
the case against Hettrick and MS CO.
defendants, then presented documen
tary evidence showing that O'Nalll had
PAID INTO tne Eettllck code Narl US
sums at different times as par. Of the
! per cent collected from plumbers
under the code of practice scheme.
Later O'NeiN had Disagreement
with Hettrick and quit the code group.
He also testified that his brother,
Francis, lawyer, had informed him
that the scheme was illegal. After the
rupture in his relations with Hettricli
he testified that on several occasions
the defendants, Doran. Murphy and
Chapman, had told him to go and make
his peace with Hettrick.
As result of this, he testified. he
each time he was told that be would
have to pay $4,000 before he could OPP
crate again under the code. He re
fused several times point blank, and
was then told by Hettricl, shat there
would be "showdown.'
He then testified that Doran. one OF
the labor leaders, told him he was
being "crowded' by Hettrick, and
urged him lONeilD to 20 and make
mis- peace. He testified that he was
afraid that either his men would be
called off his jobs. or that Hettrich
would underbid him on prospective
Jobs, if he didn't make some arrange

Finally, he testified, he went to see
Hettrick, and made an agreement with
him whereby he paid $1,000 into the

there was an evident lack Of interest
on the part Of the members of the

over 100000 wageearning women in

this having been made known to the
Greek government by the State Depart

promptly forwarded.
In addition to this, the Greek govern
