SAN TRANCISCO, Aur. 17.
(yp)A former military intelli

X" during the World wr, testi
fied at Harry' Bridges deporta
tion hearing today that he had
been paid thousands or dollars by

to Investigate he CIO labor lead
er and determine whether soviet
money, was supporting waterfront
strikes. ' '
Th. witness. Cantata Charles
O.- Bakesy of Santa Monica, Cal.,
also testified he had oeen
threatened by Larry Doyle, mys
tery figure in the case, unless he
signed a paper saying he had
seen Bridges at a "big commun
ist meeting."
Bakesy, a short-bearded man
with a big cauliflower left ear,
aid he had been discharged sud
denly in 1936 as an investigator
and almost had a scuffle with
Thomas 6. Plant, then president
of the Waterfront Employers as
sociation; because "Plant said I
was slow getting evidence."
llerriam "Aided
Him to Get Job.
The captain, who got his title
as master- of sailing ships, also
mentioned the name of Frank F
Merriam whom, he testified, had
Introduced him to a Honolulu oil
company official which resulted
In his obtaining the investigator's
Job.
, Captain Bakesy, testifying in
broken English, said he was paid
116,009 for his work, but that
the sum should ' hare been
$25,000.
He sal4 he received 1400 a
month from April to .August,
1935, from Plant, and later
f 1,000 a month,, .and expenses,
from Hugh Gallagher, an - offi
cial of the Matson Navigation
company. -.-.'' '
He explained the expense were
to establish a meeting " place at
Carmel, CaL, where union - lead-,
crs could be brought.
The witness added that Plant
wanted "to get the lowdown on
Bridges' activities" and wanted
him to bring the Australian-born
CIO official to Carmel and get a
dictograph record of what
Bridges said.
"The most Important thing
was to find out If money was
coming; from soviet Russia,
second came Bridges," Bakesy
testified.
Bridges has denied he Is a
communist, but the , government
Is attempting to deport him on
the grounds he Is and that the
party advocates violence.

SEATTLE, Aug. l7.-()-Harry
Bridges, west coast ClO-long-shoremen's
union leader, predict
ed tonight that unless ship own
ers "change their present attl
tude'' a coast-wide shipping tieup
would start September SO.
He said in an Interview long
shoremen hoped to negotiate a
new contract to replace the one
expiring September SO.
: ''But we have positive state
ments from ' leaders of the em
ployers' ogranizations that unless
we accept renewal of the present
contract by September 30, with
its objectionable features, ship
loading will cease and longshore
men locked out.
"We offered to continue under
the present contract after Sep
tember SO until a new, one can
be worked out, but they turned
that down. They're going to force
us Into a lockout because they
know that's bad for us we can't
effectively make demands tor im
provements after they're locked
us out," he said.
Bridges contradicted what he
said were ship owners state
ments that longshoremen on the
coast enjoy the best conditions
and wages . in the, world. He said
Atlantic coast longshoremen cur
rently were paid $1.0 S en hour,
more than longshoremen get on

Relief Item big Worry
of Budget Makers
for County v
The Marlon county court may
not enjoy being reminded of bud
get-making time but It approaches
anyway and finds the county in
e same old quandary over max
g receipts and appropriations
balance within the limit pre
scribed by law.
j That limit this year will per
mit the county budget committee,
if it sees tit, to add $36,268.40 to
the tax bill within its control
That's not much of a hat from
which to pull greenback rabbits
to meet the continually, rising de
mands for more .money for relief,
more money for roads.
! The county had 1845.133.40 to
spend this year including SSS7,
773.40 In taxes levied. The re
maining $257,360 came from mis
cellaneous fees, state motor ve
hicle revenues and a $50,000 ex
pendable surplus.
This expenditure did not Include
$93,721.23 from the state elemen
tary school tax, the only state
property tax Imposed this year.
The resultant grand total bud
get of $938,854.63 was $246,-
240.37 less than the aggregate of
appropriations made 10 years ago.
The 1929 budget, however, includ
ed Items of $113,500 for high
schools, $103,700 for market road
bonds and approximately $225,-
000 in state property fax, none of
which appeared In the 1939 bud
git. Relief Is now
Main Problem
Ten years ago the county was
worrying about roads and road
bonds, little about relief.
What to do about this relief-
direct aid, old age pensions, aid to
dependent children, . aid to the
blind, medical care and operation
of the poor farmis one of the
budget-makers' principal prob
lems today.
A, glance back into the eeunt
clerk's records - shews that the
county's contribution to relief has
grown from $4428.95 26 years
