In addition he has helped to set up a dual ynion, the United Building and Common La- borers, at whose head he has placed ex-convicts and criminals who pre- viouSly had been driven out of the labor movement.” In reply to questions, MecNicholas | further revealed that these conditions | were now spreading more actively than ever.

F, of L. officials are shielding.” Charges Cited. MeNicholas further revealed the fact that his International had brought charges against the Brick- layers and Plasterers officials and that he himself had appeared on this matter before the A. F. of L. execu- tive council and that no action had resulted. “In 1922,” MeNicholas stated, “I testified at the Lockwood investiga- tion hearings. And I brought ‘to Samuel Untermyer the whole proof -of the activities of these men but he failed to get all of the guilty ones. I was told by Dioguardi himself that the labor officials were trying | to ‘frame me up’ for testifying before the committee.” MeNicholas admitted that he did not expect to meet with’any more’ suc- cess in his present attempt. | MeNicholas offered to give the com- mission the copy of a letter which he | had sent to Al, Smith complaining of these conditions. Smith failed to act in the case, * “If Smith were the friend of labor that he claims to be, he would have acted ‘n this and in many other cases to show friendship by deeds, But he is like the rest of them.” 5 Another hearing will be held next Thursday.
