Show MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM EVERETT HALDANE #1 organizer, this guy was. He came in to see me and I said, "This is classified industry, and I can't tell you a darn thing about it." He said, "Well, we' re going to organize you and it's going to be organized right away." Well, he never did do it. CE: Was this the miners now? WH: Now this would have been on these government plans. This was what he came in, he said, "These government plans have go to be organized and we' re going to organize you right away," but they didn't. I would assume a lot of it would be because of the security regulations that they j ust--somebody put some pressure on him someplace. CE: Why would the National Labor Relations Board man do that? WH: This has always been a question I've wanted to know. I've always wanted to know this. CE: They're mediators, aren't they? WH: This is the way, but this guy, he looked like--you've seen that wrestler, what do they call him, the Angel of something like that? This looked just like him, big tough, rough and gruff and-- CE: Did you have a police force? WH: Somebody was deputy. Jerry Foster I guess was deputy sheriff. 57 |
