If not, why not? Your strike not authorized by district and you will have to assume full responsibility We cannot afford to inwplve marine unions in unauthorized strike Would advise you return to work and use machinery suggested in Bjorklund's letter.” The “machinery” referred to in the telegram undoubtedly means the submission of the demands to the Federal Regional Labor Board, headed by C.

Wilentz. The state planned this morning to hit at discrepancies in the tes- timony Hauptmann gave yesterday. The Attorney General this morn- .ing began by taking up at the time Hauptmann quit his job on April 2, 1932, when it was testi- | fied he, was paid $50,000. | Hauptmann said he quit his job | because he found he:was getting lonly $80 monthly instead of $100. Carpenter’'s Wages The prosecutor and witness then lengaged in a problem of what the daily wage of a carpenter would be at $80 a month. Hauptman said he did ure it out. | The Attorney General suggested at whep figured at 25 working days a month it would be $4 daily at the rate of $100 monthly Hauptmann asked Wilentz: not fig- “Do yeu figure dem days with Sundays | and holidays?” Wilentz suggested the wages here were by the month and Haupt- mann replied “yes.” Paycheck Introduced The Attorney General then show- ed Hauptmann a paycheck which he said was his, Hauptmann say- | ing it was a check for March at| $80 monthly. The daily pay would | have been $2.66. Hauptmann smd} he was paid,twice monthly and ad- | mited i rjm for half a month,| hetk the paych would have been for $40. o | “But the ¢heck was not for $40,” | aid Wilentz. “If you worked one| han month they | have off $2.66, bul‘ taken i took off That was too $3.33.

Miss Sharpe was a maid in the Linddergh household who suicided soon after the kxdnapmg.i “I never heard of her and I| | never knew anyone connected with | { the Lindbergh household,” said| | Hauptmann. | The Attorney General was at-| | tacking ‘the defense efforts to | throw suspicion on Miss Sharpe ind other Morrow or Lindbergh domestics. Purchases Radio The Attorney General drew from | the defendant the fact that in May or June, Hauptman bought a $400 radio and paid more than $100 for field glasses. Hauptmann denied however, that Fritz Hahn, his friend, saw two envelopes of money in the victrola. | Hauptmann laughed aloud at the | suggestion that Hahn saw the money. When asked if Hahn did not say: “This is a swell radio, it must have cost a lot of money,” Hauptmann replied: “I got the impression you are making up a big story.” Wilentz replied: “Well, well, we will see about that.” HERRING PLANT HEARING DATED FOR FEBRUARY § | A public hearing on House Joint {Memorial No. 5, providing for the aholishing of herring reduction plants, has been called by Chair- | | | | | [ taste better.
