Witness Details Juggling Union Funds
A Chicago Bakers Union official testified he deposited about 9,000 of union funds into his personal savings account on orders from his union boss but did not keep the funds. Anthony Conforti, president of Local No. 1, said the handling was odd yet he followed orders from George Stuart, then international vice president. The money came from a 10,500 fund raised by Local Nos. 300 and 100 to press for a contract with Salerno Megowen Biscuit Co. Conforti said, under Stuart's instruction, the funds were moved to a union bank account and drawn out in cash.
