in reply to the Brooklyn fearful one
in the matter of the fare, that the

"The consideration to security hold

There can be little doubt of the

President A. J. Fisher and Treasurer

Painters We're arraigned ON charge
Of embezzlement.
Hartley confessed, it is alleged,
that he used tens Of thousands of doll

Fisher are members Of the reaction
airy Zausner clique.
Hartley was trapped on a S1,500
check made out on a union check
blank TO Dartell and Ludwig, stock
brokers located on Broadway just off
Wall st. Confronted by the tell-tale
check, he admitted that he had been
using union funds in efforts to en-
rich himself but that he was paying

He had paid back $4,000, he de-
clared, but still owed $4,000
