(. Ci RE; JOHN L. LEWIS, ETAL INTERVIET) WITH "I think that conditions at Mine A under U.M.W. were as good as they had beenuwunder P.M.A. but I did not like one rule pry thet the U.M.W. pessed which required all men to speak in English at union meetings, or be liable to a $10.00 fine. There were many old men in the union who could not exprese themselves in English, and I thought this rule was unfair to them. "At a P.M.A. meeting which I attended in P.M... hall I heard thet four or five men, one of them I think was had gonc to see ELSHOFF, but they did so without the authority o 6 PeMoAe Local. I think thet there was a fight outside of the hall after this mecting, but I did not ses it. JI don't know why the fight started. I don't kmow if any other committees were appointed, and I don't know if this committes roported the rosults of the proposed mecting with ELSHOFF. I don't recail tha date of this mooting. "TI have read this statoment consisting of this and one other typewritten page and . stata that it is true to the best of my mowledge and recollection. /:; a, Witnesses: Special sgonts, FBI Springfield, 111." - 556 -
