moves failed and a fight to the

The chief demand of the six
unions on the walkout is prefer
entail hiring of Office employees
and clerks. Preferential hiring
was granted the five other hotel
workers unions, and the insistence
of employers to hire clerks on a
merit basis" precipitated the
strike Saturday.
Hundreds of guests in the no

admitted.
Demands for a 40-hour, 5-day
week have been granted the five

DUPONT PROBE
CONTINUES

NEW YORK, May 4 GN.sJY
Hearing of Federal income tax
evasion charges against Pierre S.
Dupont and John j. Raskob went
into its second days session today.
The Government claims DUPONT
owes 1898, 209 on his 1929 income.
Charges against Rarkob involve
a sum of $1,026,340 which, the
Government alleges, he did not
turn over to the Treasury Depart
ment in 1929.
U. S. Attorney Mason B. Lem
ing commended Dupont and Raskob
entered into agreements whereby
each would buy from the other
large blocks of securities and
stocks, at a heavy loss to the seller.
Leming charged this was for
the sole purpose of creating ficti-
tious losses, which would allow
DUPONT and Raskob to reduce
their net taxable income.
