JI can't recall how the strike continue stortod in May 1937. It seems to me that there was same controversy ohout some men who were supposed to trying to get mombers for U.M.n. from P.M.A. I don't remember if thore wes any talk about these men having been discharged or fired. I think it waa deo use of the controversy about these men that the P.M.A. on tho day of the strike loaded their coal cars with short weights, I think that tho only reason for the atrike was the trouble about these men. I don't recall any talk about wage “wr ne t sonles. Safter the strike started in 1937 I went and since ~ that time I have not been in Mine B. However, I did vote in the slection for Mine B held in December 1937, anc voted for P.M.A,. because I thought the majority of the miners wanted that union, an¢ because I thought it was a good union. “Some time in February or March 1938 I started to work in Minp A, I stayed at thot mine until a short timo after U.M.0. obtsined the bargaining contract for the mincrs there. In the eloction that wes held for Mine A I voted for U.H.7. because I wanted to save my job, and I thought that U.M.n. woule win the election, It reslly made no difference to me which union won the election. All I wanted was my job.
