On September 29, Dale Hull, former secretary-treasurer for Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen Division 261, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas to one count of embezzling union funds from the Herington, Kan.-based union. He had been indicted in July on five counts of embezzling more than $14,000. The guilty plea and indictment follow an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
