Box 1, Folder 15, Document 22

WE ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THESE MEN RHO
SAY THEY REPRESENT THE FIREMEN WHO ARE ON STRIKE EXERCISE

NO CONTROL OVER THESE MEN.

THESE LEADERS HAVE AT THE TEAMSTERS' UNION HALL
STATED THAT THEY HAVE ASKED THE FIREMEN TO OBEY THE
COURT ORDER TO RETURN TO THEIR POSTS. THERE HAS BEEN NO

RESPONSE TO THIS REQUEST FROM THE UNION LEADERSHIP.

THE CITY OFFICIALS HAVE MET WITH THESE LEADERS IN
GOOD FAITH. WE THOUGHT THEY WERE THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES

AND SPOKESMEN FOR THE MEN WHO ARE REFUSING TO WORK,
APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE,

IF WE AEE TO MAKE ANY PROGRESS IN SOLVING THIS
DILEMMA, WE MUST BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES
EXERCISE PROPER CONEROL OVER THE MAJORITY O” THE FIREMEN

AND WHOSE REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED BY THE FIREMEN,
