BAJORK could recali little, and from his actions it was (continued) apparent that he was stating the truth, without the assistance of material in the 13th Region files of NLRB, 44. PRANK KLEITER, Acting Regional Director, Region 15, NLRB, was contacted Mr, KLEITER advised that all files pertaining to the Mine “B" matter, inGiuding the informal file which would contain notes and memos of the neetings with Mr. BAJORK or other officials of the NLRB and the ~ employer and employces, had beon forwarded ts weghington approximately one month ago and hence was not available. Mr. EAJORK volunteered the informetion that after hie resigna- tion from NLRB, which was given as a result of his disagreement with cer- -tain policies and activities of the National Board in washington, he servad Be a labor consultant in and around Chicago, Illinois, until he accepted his present position as Personnel Manager. we | OO RATADY Det hee ar Mle bwin Lure FV accordance with the “unwritten code of all govornment men" had religiously refrained from discussing or taking any part, or entering into any prob- lems surrounding the Mine "B" matter.

Mr. E&JORK was asked the hypethetical question as to what he could have done or how the Mince "B" diapute could have beon settled. Mr. BAJIGRK stated thet he believed the kcy to the whole matter rested with the employer, CARL EH. ELSHOFF, who could have settled the matter ot practically any time he desired. In view of the fact thet most of the information submitted above was secured after refreshing Mr, BAJORK‘s mind in connection with the details of this matter, in view of the fact that it appears obvious that at this time he cannot furnish more information without the 15th Region file, and in view of the fact that it appears at this time he will only be able to testify to matters which appear of record in the lith Region file, no attempt was made to obtain a signed statement. Mr. EA’CRK mokes a good appearance. He does not appoar to be > unfavorable to the Goverrment in connection with thie matter, and it is believed that he would make an honest effort to testify to any information which he might have to the best of his ability. Secouse of his indefinite menner and his apparent hazy recollection as to time and place, it is be- lieved that he would be only an average Government witness for a man in his a position, : —468-
