NEW YORK, N Y, August 15-A
graphic description of cringing terrified
racket witnesses was presented to the
Senate subcommittee on racketeerings
today by Augustine j. Smith, secretary
Of the New York County Grand Jurors
Association
Smith. who was foreman of the
March grand jury, told Senator Royal
S. Copeland, chairman of the commit
tee, that grand juries should not be
limited to cases presented by the courts.
He was the first speaker of the commit
tees second day of open hearing in the
Bar Association Auditorium.
Describing a fur racket case that
came before the March grand jury,
Smith said
Il wish you could have seen the wit
nesses, how they stood before u.s. terri
fed. the perspiration standing out upon
them, afraid to speak out"
Racketeers Employ Spies.
"Racketeers" he said, keep their
spies around the grand jury room. They
know who testifies and they swiftly
punish"
Smith also demanded better extra
dition laws.
Now you are touching upon some
thing that must be dealt WITH" Cope
land said.
A statement that employment Of
labor on the Rockefeller Center De-
velopment was controlled by "a P. j.
Commerford' was made by George B.
McGovern, a steam engineer, who told
Senator Copeland that he knew many
men who we're told at Rockefeller Gen.
ter that they could be employed only
with permission of "Commerford,"
whom he described as an international
representative.
They used to be called supervisors"
he said That was ruled out by the
courts, so they resorted to the subter-
fuge of international representative"
do you mean that international
unions interfere with the right of
American citizens to work." Copeland
asked.
Yes ne replled.
Copeland asked him to submit brief
after McGovern said he could prove
existence of several rackets.
Charges Union With Crimes.
Another man then jumped up from
the audience and said he would like to
present some facts to the committee.
He said he was Patrick McNichols, q
bricklayer, and he launched into an
Grafton charging larceny, forgery, ex-
tortion and other crimes in the brick
layers union. Much of his speech went
back IS or more years. Copeland tried
to stop him, but McNichols went on
waving his arms and shouting about
crooks and racketeers."
He accused the district attorney OF
Brooklyn of refusing to prosecute labor
racketeers and he charged that the
American Federation of Labor was
founded on tyranny with taxation
without representation"
When he ended he said Il thank
you" The audience applauded.
McGovern did not further identify
"Commerford." or say If he referred to
