3-15-15 #16 Reports suggestions

For truth and argument before the 
Government Investigation, who will begin 
their investigation on March 22.  It is a 
fact that the GA Fed. Of Labor knew 3 weeks 
ago that that this day was set, therefore 
the labor forward movement was started , to 
end in a general labor rally on Sunday 
March 21, so the papers would carry 
lots of labor movement news on Monday 
March 22 with the hopes of making the 
investigators believe conditions were 
acute and influence them to believe it 
was public sentiment generally over the 
district in the labor movement favor.  
Past reports giving you this information.  
I having had experienced with similar 
investigations, knowing you will be served with 
a summons, and there submit your 
report under oath, and given names 
of the witnesses to corroborate your 
contention, and testimony is takened 
as in a refree case of any kind.  I would 
suggest a suitable person of intellectual 
ability from each depart. Spinners, weavers, 
loom fixers, spoolers, sweepers, and in 
fact leave no part of the mill un
represented from the janitor to 
the president, who can tell of a fair 
deal for the employed, and counteract 
the contention of Labor aggetators.  Let t
hese representations, separately carry 
a petition signed by the employees of 
that department, who would if called on 
testify according to the statement on the 
head of the petition, and let him offer 
to swear that he is speaking for this 
department, and the names attached.  In 
this manner your entire force will 
have submitted their testimony favorably 
while there will only be a little 
grievance committee from Local 886 
and the majority of them are not strikers.  
These labor investigations do not look on 
a man who is disposed of for reasonable 
cause prior to the strike as a striker.  
There for some time book or cashier should 
be on hand with proof in book form to 
show that  they were discharged either 
prior or after the strike date for 
a reasonable cause, this clause will 
greatly eliminate certain contemplated 
testimony, when date and cause is adheared 
to another point of interest to consider 
is to have summoned men who can 
testify to the continuing improvement 
of sanitary conditions, and also donations
or assistance in education and religious 
[...] persued for the employees benefits 
which will naturally decreased a dividend 
if said dividend was shown to be 
above the average of similar businesses. 
Reagan will endeavor to show the small 
wages here and the large wage scale 
elsewhere, this can be met with 
your rent and other conditions 
which when Weighed will balance with 
other localities.  It would also be beneficial 
for council in his statement to incorporate 
the lewed conduct of Mrs. Smith and Miles.  
Also the misappropriation of funds by 
the local through Bob Wright.  
I would suggest Mr. Sweatt 
who resides nearby be called on as he 
stated to Swift Drake, that he had a 
good job and was well treated and 
lost some by being misinformed.  
I would also suggest that you 
get in touch with other mills who 
will submit the names of witnesses to 
show that the conditions in this 
section do not demand advice 
of Government aid to get justice.  
I would also suggest you putting 
your saving plan before the committee 
and also the premium plan accompaining 
by the little card some times enclosed 
in the tray envelope asking cooperation 
in suggesting ways to implore the 
working system and other points of 
interest.  When this Government 
of court receives information along 
lines as here in stated they will 
report favorable and then we 
will be in a position to get 
all that is due is through the 
press. I am ready to testify before 
this committee any time if you 
think proper, and will be able to 
meet my local subjects tomorrow.
