a) O Re: JOHN L. LEWIS, ET AL "On the day of the strike I loaded all my cars as usual and worked a full day. I understood that the company had refused to deal with P.M.A. and also that the company wanted to deal with U.NM.W. "I signed a P.M.A. petition shortly after the strike to stow the Federal Government that P.M. a. was in majority, "a few months after the strike we heard the mine was going to open under U.M.W. so at our union meeting we decided we would picket the mine to protect our jobs. On theday the mine was supposed to open only a few UMV miners went in the mine. We continued to picket until we were served with an injunction, nI voted in the N.L.R.B. election in December 193 i fair election and P.! ch. won by a large majority. "T started back at Mine "B" when it opened on an open shop basis. I worked as P.M.A. until I saw the majority “ere going UMW. and because I wanted to wark and as 1ong as both P.iA. & U.M.W. were working there was always trouble. I had no recourse if I waS shorted on my cars, unless I belonzed to the union who was able to deal with the mine operators, I have been short weighted on my cars loaded and Ican't get the proper settle- ment under U.N.W. "I prefer P.U.A. to U.IL. because the miner has something to say in electing the officers under P.M.A. while in U.M.%. we have to accept any officer who is appointed. "I have had this 3 pace statement read to me by! and it is true and correct. /s/ Special Apent ae Special Acent, F.5B,I." ~55 6 eee eg ye ere ee ee eer ee gee tM TT care A mt i ner nme no aomermone oom toe ee at oe
