Fisher Body Division

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mrs. Hogan:

May I reply to your letter tn order that you may be
confronted with the facts concerning our firemen.

The firemen to which you refer walked off their jobs and
left the city totally unprotected. In doing so, they violated
their oath of office and gawe up their right of city employ-
ment,

The Courts ordered them to return but they refused to
abide by the court order. Iam sure you understand what
this means,

The city is providing for each of these men who were not
under probation to appear before the Board of Firemasters
and state their individual cases for re-employment,

lam sure you wanted to know the facts in the case, and these
are the facts.

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
