Dear Sir:
In your issue of Wednesday. No

story under the by-line of Robert

among other things: Il got a car

not volunteering any information. =
This is to inform you officially on
behalf of the United Brotherhood of

that Robert Bruskin holds no men,
bership in our brotherhood: that he
Is guilty Of an untruth when he
writes that he volunteered no in
ton, inasmuch as he signed a
questlonnaire prescribed for all ap-
pllcants for jobs as carpenters, and
in which he declared that he had
had four years experience as A
carpenter; that these particulars
and all the other details in the ques-
tlOnnalre bear his signature and
that the QUESTIONABLE is in my
possession: and, Furthermore, that
in the very queStionnaire he ad-
mitted over his own signature that,
if he falsified in any particular of
his application, all privileges which
might otherwise ensue therefrom
would be nullified by said falsifica-
tions, and that when Mr. Molloy, our
business agent, telephoned BruSkin
tonight wednesday, from my room
and before stenographers who took
the verbatim conversation, your re-
porter became abusive and llbelouS,
both as to the person of Mr.. Molloy
and as to our brotherhood; that
photostatic copies have been made

official demand of The Evening Star
