$500 to 81 400, were shown TO the
jury and witness identified them
as money paid Letter.
Questioned by Carey, Haynes
admitted he might have used part
of this cash himself for pocket
money
The former Schenley agent said
he fired Letter in the spring of
1887 because Democrats had
taken over in Lansing and I
didn't see how he could continue
doing the same work"
During the Democratic years Of
1887 and 1888 Haynes said he
was on a salary basis instead of
commission. When Republicans
returned 10 power in 1899 he said
he hired WeStermm.

He testified that in 1885 Nc
Keighan helped him get liquor

HIS commission was 81 .704,
Hammet testified, and McKeighan
took either $1,000 or $1,000 of
this sum.

lower than had been recon-
mended in the GM case by a pres

cording 10 the Ford company flC-

CoSTLESS INCREASES

But il is to be noted that when
the wage demands were first
made. the union leaders were
loud in their lnsiStenCe that the
wage advances could be made
without any changes in ceiling
prices. Their stand has been re-
inforced by their colleagues or
co-conSplratorS within the gov
eminent who have promptly fur
niShed figures mostly faked--to
show that the wage demands
could be met without raising
prices.
The real basis for the demands,
all of which average out at about
81 per day per man. has nothing
at all TO do with the supposed
needs of the workers. The leaders
have only crocodile tears for their
