It should be stated at the outset that Mr. BAJCRE could recall little of the details concerning the events in connection with this case his own accord and without refreshing his recollection. At this time it aR: appears that he could only testify to matters which were made a matter of 7 official record in the NLRB files. Mr. BAJORK does not recall any inquiry Boe Mant WT aAvTATh ye Law 19 aot? eemeernine hat Ln ar mat the from CARL ELSHOFF on or about May Loiy 1837, concerning Woevnsr or Tot tas dismissal or the refusal to dismiss the twelve miners expelled from PMW of Aon May 11, 1937, was an wifair labor practice. As far as ' recollection is concerned he does not believe that Mr. ELSHOFF ever made any such inquiry. - I Mr. BAJCRE recalls little more of his meeting with JOE OZANIC than recorded on the photostatic copy of documents pertaining to this file. He stated that probably, as OZANIC previously advised this office, that RAY EDMUNDSON did come in and see him. EDMUNDSON, he believes, probably came in to attempt to find out what OZANIC had previously said. He stated that in an attempt to solve the problem he called both OZANIC and EDMUNDSCH into his office for a conference, He did not recall the dates of this conference, but stated that the informal file of the NLRB in Chicago should contain either a typewritten memo or a handwritten memo concerning these meetings. BAJORK believes that OZANIC presented a petition to him containing a conside able number of signatures. He stated that if such was the case he would have told OZANIC that that petition alone was not enough to sustain charges against the DMW cf A, but that formal charges would have to be filed: that the Board could not accept any such petition as evidence without their own investigation. He did not recall definitely whether or not EDMUNDSON or WALTER J. JAMES ever showed him any petition or other form of group signatures suc as application cards or membership cards. As to the date of this meeting, ] BAJORK was unable tc make any definite statement. He cannot say definitely whether it was on September 8, or not. “s BAJCRK stated it was his impression at the time and still is tod 7 that ELSHOFF did not want to do business with the PAW of A but rather wanted to do business with the UW of A.
