Witness Tells of Slush Fund to Kill Off Bid of Union
Walter J. Patterson testifies he distributed Whirlpool money at Clyde Ohio to influence workers to vote against unionization. He says funds were paid as expenses and loans, with some directed to propaganda against the International Assn. of Machinists. Patterson and others are tied to Shefferman and Beck in broader investigations.
