Baker Says He Didn't Keep Union Funds
Chicago Bakers Union official Anthony Conforti testified he deposited about $9,000 of union funds into his personal savings account on orders from union boss George Stuart and used his own money to open the account. He said the funds, from a $10,500 drive by Local Nos. 300 and 100 to win a contract with Salerno Megowen Biscuit Co., were channeled through a union bank account, then withdrawn and given to Stuart. The Senate Rackets Committee plans further testimony from Stuart and Cross as it probes misuses of funds and trusteeship in local unions.
