Wilding Trades Council Expels President Baker
An exciting session of the Building Trades council led to the expulsion of H C Baker after a heated dispute over a $200 payment claimed to have funded Republican poll workers. Other members questioned Baker’s account and two men allegedly offered to withhold endorsement in exchange for money. The council asserted Baker’s explanation was not credible and expelled him to clear the committee and organization. County tax figures for February show total collections of 228254.95 with small refunds and prior-year amounts listed.
