Sewer GRAFTERS
FOUND GUILTY.
At Once Arrest .Paino,
Papal Knight

The jury in the Queens graft trial
yesterday quickly found guilty
Frank II. Berg, Jr., who is Borough
President Harvey's campaign man
ager, and Alfred L. Levin, a politi-
cal worker, whom his lawyer charac-
terized as mot bright fellow"
They were accused by Harvey of
offering him bride of $4,000, ad-
vance payment of total of $780,
900 to be put up by the sewer con-
tractors ring. They charged Har-
vey was framing them.
Paino Admits Graft.
Berg and Levin told the court
that Harvey accepted the money,
and used it to try and stop publicity
about his joining the Ku Klux Khan.
They said it was campaign eontri-
buttons, not bride, and came from
sewer man named Angelo Paino.
Paino admitted giving the $4,000.
He was arrested last night, four
hours after the verdict. He is a
rich sewer contractor. and was made
a Papal Knight by Pope Plus.
Another charge against Harvey
developed out of the trial testimony,
as summed up by the defense at
torney, Uterhardt. Harvey's account
books, which are held by the court.
indicated that Harvey had failed to
declare large campaign contributions
to the Board of Elections, as the
law requires.
Harvey Stole $3.50"
"The corrupt practices act re-
quires that every contribution must
be listed" the attorney said.
"But Harvey's account books
show one 500 check accepted from
corporation and then listed under
another name in his campaign list.
Two distinct crimes are constituted. :
Another check, one for $3.50 from
Joseph H. de Bragga, went to Har-
vey for his campaign, but never
figured in the list, he pointed out.
Harvey stole that money" Utter
hardt shouted triumphantly. "He
took the check and put it. in his
pocket and that's the man whose
story you are asked to believe
against all the probabilities"

Presser Club Steps Out
to Fight Traitors

however. that despite announcing it's
readiness to fight the Hillman-Ris-
man administration, the Pressers'
Club disclaimed connection with the
organized left wing, behind whom
are the overwhelming majority of
the membership. In addition to this
the club adopted proposed measures,
which show that their fight will be
merely one of pressers only against
the administration, saying that the
few hundred club membership can
stop the industry if HilIman at
tempts reprisals.
In discussing this occurrence, the
left wing adherents of the Shop
Delegates Conference deplored such
On attitude on the part of the lead
ers of the Pressers Club. They
criticized it by pointing out that an
isolated fight by single craft
against the entire modified Hill
man machine would in all likelihood
be crushed. The followers of the
Fressers Club were called upon to
join the Shop Delegates Conference,
a broad rank and file movement that
seeks to mobilize the entire mem
bership for the struggle against
Hillmarism.
Warn Workers.
The left wing workers called on
the workers of that craft to criticize
an attitude sponsored by club lead
ers, which seeks to enlarge the
Pressers' Club membership, so that
it can request an independent char
ter from the national organization.
Unity around the left wing pro-
gram of the 40-hour week, abolition
of all forms of speed-up, abolition
of piece work and the check-of sys-
tenn, ETC., was urged on the follow
crs of the Pressers Club as the only
way to GUST the corrupt Hillman
machine.
