Bribery Charges Stir Grand Jury in Chicago Trade Row
Chicago June 1 President Shea and Albert Young testified to bribery offers to call a strike by Teamsters employed by Sears Roebuck against Montgomery Ward. They said $100000 was offered to call a strike, which was refused. Young gave additional details, claiming a meeting location and attendees. Judge Barnes ruled on self incrimination, ordering answers. Coal dealers and teamsters discuss unpaid strike benefits of about 30000 and attempts to sway officials to end strikes.
