Local 410 had been thoroughly looted: though it had taken in about $20,000 during its short life, its assets totaled $450, its liabilities some $22,000. In gratitude for the opportunity for plunder, Feldman helped work out an alliance between Hoffa and Philadelphia Teamster Raymond Cohen, whose Local 107 had 19 officers with criminal records totaling 104 arrests and 40 convictions. Cohen stands accused by the McClellan committee of misusing more than $400,000 in Local 107 funds (confronted with the accusation, Cohen dodged behind...
