Ee stote organizttione JI do not reorll signing
any coords for either the UMT or the Pil. up wumtil
the time I joined the UM.
"I believe that the 2nde NIRB election wus on honest election,
it was by secrect ballot and wos rum just like the first onee I think
the IM? won the 2nd. election becuse the mine B had been filled up
with UM/mene During this period & miner could get his 6am & job in

get o job tut this mine. Prior to this when the mine wos operating woier
