The U.S. Dept. of Labor has received evidence that a union member embezzled tens of thousands of dollars from a Corvallis union, possibly with the knowledge of local officials.  Officials with the United Bhd. of Carpenters suspended the hierarchy of Local 1094 in Feb. of this yr., after a local officer contacted the Intl., and began an investigation.  Once their audit was completed, UBC officials turned over their findings to the DOL, which is now conducting its own investigation.  According to the UBC auditors, tens of thousands of dollars in membership dues are missing.  Michael V. Draper, Vice-Pres.
