"MEDICAL RACKET" CHARGED.

NEW YORK, August "a CP.-Dr.
William Walker brother of the mayor,
was termed "a symptom and sample
of a great medical racket" by Griev-
ance Committee witness today.
Paul Blanshard, executive director OF
the City Affairs Committee, so described
the mayors brother at preliminary
hearing of the Grievance Committee OF
the State Board of Medical Examiners.
He made his statement in ccntinua-
ton of his opening remark that he did
not wish to make DR.. Walker an isolated
victim of charges CT fee splitting in
connection with city compensation cases
which his committee has filed against
the mayors brother and four other
physicians.
He is a symptom and sample OF a
great medical racketS Blanshard said.
at would be as silly to remove him
without getting at the racket as 1t
would be to sew up wound with proud
flesh underneath
Blanshsrd said the City Affairs Com
mittee ch; rged DR.. Walker and his as
Sociates with fraud against the city IN
three particulars.
The city paid DR.. Walker large sums
of money through his associates without
DR.. Walker rendering the city any
: StINlCt lOI IlldI ooid AAi
number of cases the city paid some
of these doctors for fake services de-
! scribed by fake bills. Finally, the
money received by DR.. Walker was
claimed ordinary graft, and no mar
reading the Seabury testimony car
reach any other conclusion"
Others Are Accused.
Charged with Dr. Walker are Drs
Harris Feinberg, Edward L. Brennan
Thomas j. O'Mara and Alfred Cassassa
All were informed that their presence
was optional and DR.. CassasSa was tht
only one on hand when the hearing
began.
The first action of the committee wa!
to rule that fee splitting in itself would
not be considered prima facie evidence
of fraud.
In announcing this decision DR.
Moses Keschner, acting chairman o.
the committee, said four OF the eight
paragraphs in the charges filed agains
Dr. Walker and the four other physi-
clans by the City Affairs Committee
would have to be substantiated by proof

not go on the record for the simple
reason that the committee selected the
counsel"
On the record as the hearing entered
its ninth day Gtood a reiteration of the
statement by Paul Block, newspaper
publisher, that friendship for Walker
and nothing else prompted him to es-
tablish a joint brokerage account from
which the mayor drew $264,000 without
investment.
Block testified that solicitude by his
son, Billy, then a little chap in short
trousers, as to how the mayor could get
along on his salary gave him the idea.
Yesterday Billy, now about Is, sat
among the spectators as his father an
swered the Governors questions.
Block, L. F. Loree, railroad magnate,
and Samuel H. Ungerleider, broker,
were the mayors principal witnesses
yesterday
Loree appeared as a member of the
mayors board of taxicab control and
backed up testimony that the mayor
had never tried to influence the board
in its decisions.
This was to show that no sinister
implications would be connected with
$4,000 worth of bonds, which, accord
ing to testimony before the Hofstadter
Investigating Committee, were sent to
the mayor by J. A. Sisto, a broker al
legedly interested in the taXicab sit
uation.
Ungerleider testified about a verbal
repurchase agreement on which his
firm bought back from Russell T. Sher-
wood $4,000 worth of stock for about
$4,000 more than its market value.
Walker has denied a charge by In
vestigator Samuel Seabury that Sher-
wood was the mayors fiscal agent
Ungerleider testified that his COM
pany had had similar repurchase agree
ments with II other persons.
You tell me-" the Governor asked,
that that is the usual practice on the
Stock Exchange in New York;"
1T is not the usual practice. but it
is common" Ungerleider replied. Among
us on the Street mans word is his
bond"
When you sold this $500 worth of
stock to Sherwood, with the under
standing he could return it, didn't you
set it up on your books as a contingent
liability" the Governor demanded.
mo, sir"
That's the most extraordinary busi-
ness I ever heard Of" the Governor
remarked.

THEATER WORKERS
FACING PAY CUTS
Reductions of Personnel Also
Possible as Present Con-
tracts Expire.

Pay cuts and personnel reductions
among all theater employees in the Dis
trict area appeared inevitable today as
present contracts between operators and
employees neared expiration. The con-
tracts expire around September l.
Two groups of theater employees, the
motion picture projectionists and the
stage hands in the legitimate houses,
the National and Belasco Theaters, al
ready have agreed to cuts the former
accepting reductions of from 10 to Is
per cent and the latter agreeing to a
7 per cent cut.
Negotiations Under Way.
Negotiations are still under way, how
ever, between officials of the stage
hands and electricians unions in New
York and officials of the Loew and
Warner picture theater chains, and no
decision has been reached as yet, ac-
cording to Julian Brylawski Of the
Warner chain here.
John T. Hurley, president of the
Stage Hands Union here. returned from
New York yesterday after sitting in on
some of the parleys between union oft1-
cials and theater owners.
May Cut Personnel.
Stage hands are being asked to agree
to a cut in the neighborhood Of 25 per
cent, according to Hurley. and there is
talk of a so per cent reduction of per-
sonnet Hurley was confident these
figures would not be met by the Stage
Hands Union, but hoped that COM
promise might be reached.
Musicians also are being asked to take
a heavy cut, the exact amount not be-
ing announced by theater owners, but
hopes of a compromise were high with
both operators and musicians.
All theater employe groups are afflli-
ated and should one group decide to
strike, the others would be called upon
to walk out to uphold them. The the
ater operators. pointing out today that
there never has been a walkout OF
theater employees in Washington, doubt
ed that negotiations would reach any
impasse now.
