Indicted Union Agents Tied to Blackmail and Extortion
A Chicago grand jury uncovered a scheme where sixteen labor union business agents were charged with extortion and blackmail against builders architects contractors and material men. Victims paid large sums to avert strikes and to label nonunion materials as union. The theater paid 2 per seat for union seating and builders paid 14000 in hush money. A metal dealers association paid 14000 to conduct business. The report notes unions did not punish agents or businessmen and that money largely stayed with the agents. Labor unions may falter unless honest men run affairs and return proper value.
