...petitioners asked some probing questions. Why had "motor cars" been bought for Irving's personal use? Why, in one 14-month period, had Roy E. Livingston, union treasurer, been paid $4,400 and Irving $3,800 for "overtime"? Why, in approximately the same period, had $16,762 been paid to "cash" without accounting?
