Proprietor Ernest A. Rivero with

through a statement published in
The Citizen yesterday. Clarence
Higgs, business agent of the car
penters' union, today described
as '-Tidiculous" Rivero's allega-
ton that T. A Weaver of the Ia
borers' unions demanded $500 for
withdrawal of pickets from the
market
Weaver refused 10 make any
statement, declaring he would
leave the entire matter in the
hands OF his attorney.
Admitting he could have nc
more than hear-say knowledge OF
what passed between Weaver
and Rivero as they sat alone IN
a car Sunday afternoon, Higgs
said 1t would be absurd TO be-
lieve Weaver had offered TO
withdraw the picketS, with or
without money.
