Betty Sekula, veteran of many strikes, has only a faint trace of bitterness in her voice when she says: "I don't think that either side in this strike is thinking of the betterment of the men.

The most profitable trucking deal, as far as the committee investigators could trace, was Test Fleet, Inc., set up for Hoffa by a big Midwest trucking firm, Commercial Carriers Co. Commercial Carriers had some trouble with striking Teamster drivers in Flint. Mich., and Hoffa threw his weight into the dispute in favor of the company. Commercial Carriers then set up Test Fleet, transferred...
