driver over the bridge so he could
see the river. and thus. apparent
ly the light.
Another time, a stink-bomb
seemed to I'LL the bill. It was
flung through the window Of the
Sonny-Boy Bakery, which spe-
cialized in Italian bread and pizza
and was getting along nicely with
just the family, until Local 229
made them realize this was not
adequate. They could see it par
ticularly well after the proprie-
tors brother-in-law got punched
lin the mouth.
They had their little failures,
too, Mr.. Bradshaw and his for
mer friends. They threatened
contractor Edward Pozusek with
trouble that would bring him
ulcers. He already had ulcers
so that didn't trouble him
none. as he said glumly yes
lterday. They told William Lyon
I'VE will fix you so you won't
drive no truck no more" He had
a steel-hammer on the seat,
though and a state trooper rode
to his rescue.
United as the Transfers
builders and carpenters were in
militant unionism, they still had
diSagreements. and 1t was a
policy dispute in which he was
Iover-ruled that brought Mr..
Bradshaw to his present low
estate, where as he says, he
laint got nothin'.
A benighted contractor was
building a house with non-union

the Carpenters local. Joseph
Bartell, Mr.. Bradshaw said, gave
specific instructions: Push over

But Billy Munley saw the
problem. Mr.. Bradshaw said, anil

Denies Part in Job
Dynamite it was. but who got
burned? Mr.. Bradshaw has
been convicted for the job he
says he didn't do. He got $50
for a nights work which he
says consisted entirely of driv-
ing a car.
And did the union thank him
for taking the rap? On the

|Teumster Unit

The National Labor Relations
Board has charged a Wash.
ington local of the Teamsters
Union with violating the second
airy boycott ban under the Taft
Hartley Act.
John A. Penello. regional di-
rector Of the NLRB fifth region.

Court here to forbid the local
from continuing picketing at
five Washington retail liquor

According to the NLRB COM
plant, Local 500 Of the union
Illegally has been picketing the
retailers in an attempt to force
IA wholesaler. District Distribu-
tors, Inc. 3l55 v street NE, to
recognize the union as bargaining
agent for certain Of its employees.
The local has never been GER
titled by the NLRB as the

THE PRIMITIVE EAST
Scranton Has Missed
Teomsters' High Life
BY MARY McGRoRY

The reopening of the labor
rackets hearings signalizes a
fresh assault on the English
language in the caucus room.
Like the westerners who recently
warmed the witness chair, the
new eastern witnesses split the
infinitive. double the negative,
and speak the diction of Marion
Brando4 in Waterfront"
This fractured English and q
fidelity to hi-fi is about all that
the east and west have in COM
mon. Like Jim Elkins, his west
ern counterpart. Paul Brad
shaw. the committees star wit
ness for Scranton, has enough
tape recordings, he hopes, to
strangle some union leaders.
Otherwise. the twain do not
meet.
Although the march of civil
ization has been ever westward
in this country. it is plain that
the Pacific Northwest has far
surpassed in gracious living the
teamsters and builders Of prosey
Pennsylvania. Beyond the Great
Divide, the unioneers were in
dulging themselves in race
horses. handmade suits, SPEND
ing thousands. At the same time,
their backward eastern brothers
had become begged down in an
early. primitive phase. While the
like of Frank Brewster were
breathing the desert air, Local
229 Of Scranton was still going
gruobily about its crude BUSH
ness of sugaring gasoline, un-
pinning fifth wheels, punching
people in the mouth.
Difference Is Plain
1t is plainly the difference
between the Thunderbird and
the Tin Lizzie, between the
country club and the tenement.
In Scranton. it was obvious
from Mr.. Bradshaw'S account of
his craftsmanship, the retain
ers were paid off for knocking
over walls and people in sums
the westerners would not deign
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-04-17

to use to tip the men who walked
their horses.
Mr.. Bradshaw. however, was
not complaining about that. A
barrel-chested young man of 36
he wore a light suit, a bright
tie. an expression compounded
of dissatisfaction and grievance
which is perhaps only to be ex-
pected in a union strong-arm
man who could not strong-arm
the union into taking care of him
when he was in trouble.
For all that, he is still union
man. heart and soul. although nc
longer a member. He loved his
work as steward of Local 229
The job was easily defined. II
was quite simply to "give the
sub-contractorS hard time"
Meanness Differs
Organized meanness differs
from job to job. it appears. Once
on a mass-picketing job, when
a number Mr.. Bradshaw called
tree tousand" surrounded As
non-union men on a highway
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-04-17

contrary, with a stinginess that
the Western conference doubt
less would have deplored they
wouldn't even give him $40 to
buy new glasses for his little
girl.
That is why. Mr.. Bradshaw is
so glad that like his Western
counterpart. Mr.. Elkins, he
turned to tape. 1t was not his
idea but that of a friend, pretty
brown-eyed Helen Garfield, an
egg Gambler, who obviously seeks
out poor quality In humans, too.
She was the only one, "besides
myself" with CUTS enough to 90
after these guys, Mr.. Bradshaw.
1T would be a good idea." she
said. ito tape these guys" and
thus forged the electronic link
between East and West, and led
everyone to the caucus room.
