UNION HEADS HIT
IN SENATE HEARING
$500, 900 Mystery Expendi.
ture and SpitaIe Dona.
ton Are Described.

Mysterious disbursement of $780,
OOO OF labor union funds and pay
ment OF $500 to an intermediary
in the LinGbergh kidnapping was de-
scribed yesterday by Nathaniel Dora
sof1. appearing before the Senate
Labor Committee at the head of a
delegation from New York Local
No. 800 OF the International AL
liance Of Theatrical and Stage Hand
Employees.
Dorasoff, who asked that the Wag-
ner bill be broadened to protect i'll
dlvidual union members from labor
leaders. said the $500 payment was
disclosed Inadvertently" last Novem-
ber by Harry Sherman. president Of
the local since February. 1893. Sher-
man, he said, had been forced OH the
local by the International Alliance.
spitaIe's Name Mentioned.
The Iindbersh intermediary, he
told the committee, was man named
Spitale, "a notorious racketeer."
or the $500 900, Dorasoff testified,
s4l5,303 was listed as spent for re
hsbilitstion" although he said men,
bers OF the union could never get
this explained further.
An attorney was paid $40 900 by
Sherman, he said. although he ham
died no litigation for the local. An
other item Of $4,000 for the Dis-
mond Detective Agency also remains
unexplained, he said.
Doragoff said:
I'VE, at the present time. find that
We have no redress against the mis-
conduct OF labor leaders, through
labor
When Sherman was questioned by
some Of the members what these re
habilitation' moneys were spent for,
his answer was If I were to tell you
/ how and for what this money was
spent I would have to 60 TO jail, so
I won't tell YOU"
Charges Force IL Used.
Members who are too inquisitive
and criticize Sherman's expenditures
lose their jobs and are assaulted, he
charged. Sherman became president
because the international ofhcials
| threatened to revoke the locals char
ter if he did not, Doragon told the
| committee.
Tracing the rise Of the president
who allegedly cannot be removed by
the members, Dorago1 said he quit
the of1ce Of financial secretary in
1922 after suspicious robbery" The
surety company revoked his bond and
he had to resign. he added.
After that, said DoraGod, Sherman
became an organizer for the Interna-
tionsl Alliance. In 1929, he contin-
ued, Sherman forced the local to en-
ploy his brother, physician. at $10,-
900 a year, although the doctor had
resigned from q $4,000 Kings Hospital
post during grand jury investisa-
tion.
Salary Increase Cited.
In February. 1888. Doragoff testi-
fed, Sherman was forced on the local
as president, and Immediately had his
salary increased from the constitu-
tional $500 q year to $4,000.
ut is futile for lis, in view OF what
has been aforesaid, to appeal to the
Internationak Alliance to secure re-
DRESS" Doragof said.

Over rocks away down yonder,
Where things like snakes died IN

And changed into what we eali oils.
The seas came in and washed re-

The wind blew sand and leaves IN

Something caused a separation,
Heat and pressure made It boil,
And drove out little drops OF Oil.

agriculture and erammed day and
night. like a college boy preparing

When he went out west Of Havre
to make his first inspection, the

goat. He tried to recall a descrip-
ton OF farm animals printed in the
books on agriculture. but could not
classify the species. The goat sim
ply didn't fit in.
Ashamed to display his Ignorance
at headquarters, he telephoned to
a friend. giving a description Of the

be.
HE had large. sad eyes,
strangely long beard, rough and

Traffic Suggestions

To the Editor of The Times:
Your paper, together with sew.
eral papers here in this city,
have printed and suggested
much relative to the parking,
driving and traffic regulations.
May I make a few construc-
tive suggestions which I believe
are the foundation of all con-
gestive traffic:
1. Keep the traffic moving,
not at the snail pace which is
required by the present uniform
systems on the main arteries.
2. Instead Of the motorcycle
policemen looking for speeders
keep the traffic moving in
straight lanes and not weaving
in and out from one lane to
the other.
3. Force motorists to be in
the lane necessary to make a
left turn.
4. Right turns on all red and
green lights. At Florida and
Connecticut Avenues the system
Is absurd, but this requires the
motorist to be in his proper
lane.
S. Keep trucks and slow mov-
ing traffic off the main arteries
in the rush hours.
6. Have a well organized and
special detail from the police
department to handle traffic
and that only, a traffic officer
must be detailed to one inter-
section, know 1t and become
acquainted with it, rather than
have a different officer at a
different intersection each day.
Traffic cannot be handled by
inefficient people; it's a real
job and one that requires
cool and level head, and not
by a man that maybe gets one
traffic trick every three or
four days.

Cruel Hunters

To the Editor of The Times:
Hunters are savages. I was
glad to read one letter protest
ing the barbarous practice Of
hunting. How can anyone find
pleasure in the cowardly pur-
suit Of one trembling little
animal?
OutWitted by men with guns,
and outnumbered by a pack Of
dogs, what chance has the pitt
full animal? And how can any
one but a coward take credit
for victory with such an unfair
advantage? Tracked to his hole
and routed out by dogs starved
for the occasion, the fox's only
recourse becomes speed. After
hours of running, jumping and
circling, the trembling animal
drops from exhaustion, when in
stantly he is torn to bits by the
drove of dogs men cheer. Even
women clap and call this
sport"
When necessary to protect
the roost the fox should be put
out of existence as quickly and
painlessly as possible. But only
savages prolong the agonies of
death and find entertainment
In the height of suffering.
Hunters are savages.

Comments Editorial
To the Editor of The Times:
Your editorial in The Times
last week on traffic was very
good. People are being killed
every day due to the fact that
motorists have no respect for
the law or the pedestrian.
This fact is especially notice
able at Thomas Circle and
Massachusetts, Avenue, North
west, where personally I have
seen four and five machines
at a time ignore red traffic
lights. In fact, took" it upon
myself a few weeks ago to
check on these violations and
in less than half an hour, I
took the numbers of IS motor
lists who deliberately passed the
red traffic signals.
The matter was reported to
the Director of Traffic, listing
the numbers, and no attention
whatsoever has been paid to my
report, so far as I am able to
ascertain. According to my
way of thinking, the best and
most logical way of Furnishing
these violators is by revocation
Of their permits for from five to
10 years.
The automobile driver who
will deliberately kill a pedes-
trian while crossing the street
is nothing more than a COM
mon murderer and should be
punished the same as any other
murderer, regardless of who he
or she may be. E. M. T.
