"As )ou put it." Hani Vice President Val

for the open shop, strange as it may mm. ,
There are many hundred of the men w ho :

ten ntiom of the I nited States Kapress ;

bricks, stones and bottles at the men In
the vehicles. The police drove off the mob.
When Edgar Howard charged him with being a beneficary of the
Bartley shortage, Hitchcock retorted, "You're a liar." When Howard
came back with a letter asking Dartley for the renewal of a note,
Hitchcock falsely pretended he had innocently borrowed of a bank.
