Among other things, Bert Powers' printers are asking $3.25 per week in extra pension and welfare contributions, $19 more in pay for a shorter week. The union has also flatly refused to yield its time-dishonored right to set bogus type, a featherbedding practice that involves hand-composing, and then throwing away unused, all advertisements received in mat form.

The alarmed finance companies sent in swarms of investigators, and Billie Sol's empire came crashing down with a thud that reverberated all the way to Washington. On March 29, the FBI arrested Estes on charges of transporting the bogus mortgages across state lines.
