Director -2- 9-28-43
Of significance is a statement made by WAGNER in his memorandum of October 4,
1941 that "EDMUHDSOH stated that these employees undoubtedly were afraid that
ELSHOFF would mine his newly acquired property through Nine B, and that To
avoid this they came to him and signed applications for membership in the
U.M.W.A." The Department feels that it is apparent that EDMUHDSG's contentions
in this regard were hypocritical in view of his knowledge that he and LEWIS were
advancing $60,000 to enable ELSEOFF to purchase the mdne. The Department hopes
that Mr. HAGNER's recollections of exact conversations can be refreshed by his
reading of the photostatic copies of his memoranda transmitted herewith.
For the information of the San Francisco Office, practically all of
the miners employed at Mine A at the time of the seasonal shut down in the
spring of 1941 were interviewed. As a result of these mass interviews it
appears that a vast majority of the miners employed at Mine A wore in favor cf
the P.E.A. Union and had no desire to switch to U.MJ. It further appears that
there was no particular controversy, and the subject of a switch from P.M.A. to
U.M.W. was never discussed among the miners until after CARL H. ELSHOFF purchased
Kine A on September é, 1941. It appears that immediately after September 4, 1941
a number of meetings were held by the Mine A employees, and in the course of
these meetings they came to the conclusion that they would save their jobs only
by switching their affiliations to U.M.W. On Sunday, September 14, 1941 the
mjority of the employees of Mine A voted to join U.M.W} Om the same date,
EDMUYDSON swore in the officers of the new U.M;W. local and called ELSHOFF to
his office where ELSHOFF immediately agreed to sign a closed shop contract with
U.H.. for the operation of Mine A. The actual signing of the contract was
deferred until after midnight inasmuch as ELSHOFF did not want to sign a con-
tract on Sunday. A few days later the operation of Mine A actually ccmenced.
It appears that after ELSHOFF'e purchase of the mine a well-planned
strategy was put into effect wherein rumors were circulated among the miners to
the eiTect that since Mine A and mine B were connected, and since it was poe-
sible to take coal out of Mine A through Mine B, that unless the miners at '
Hine A joined U.H.W. they would not be employed when the mine reopened. They
were led to believe that if the mine did not open U.M;W. that the coal of .
line A would be taken out by U.H;. miners from Mine B through the Mine B
shaft.
The information set out above concerning the results of interviews
with miners of Mine A is furnished for the confidential information of the San
Francisco Office, and MARTIK'NAGNER should not be advised of the results of £EZ'
Bureau investigation in connection with this matter. However, he should be
thoroughly reinterviewed in addition to the request set out above, to ascertain
the results of his investigation in connection with this matter. It is noted
that WhGHdR's investigation was made after Mine A opened and after the member-
ship switch from P.H.A. to U.H.W.A.

Ls a nntter of background, it is stated that ELSHOPF commenced
negotiations with WILLIAHWRYAN, operator of line A, looking toward the
purchase of Mine A in April, 1941, which, it is noted, was shortly after
ELSHOFF had negotiated a closed shop agreement with U.}.!.'H. at Mine B. The
negotiations with RYAN resulted in the purchase of the assets of Mine A
and the acquisition of the unexpired portion of the lease on this mine on
September 4, 1941. However, the designation of ELSHOFF as the purchaser K
of Nine A was in reality a fiction inasmuch as the $60,000 purchase price
was advanced directly to RYAN by Ecxrmgstsucn, an Attorney for U.u.w.
BLTJE subsequently retained title to the assets of Mine A subject to an
agreement with ELSEIC-FF that the assets would be transferred to
"' a UL'}IT:.-ii B
October, 1941, Mine A was owned by BURKE in his capacity of Attorney for U.M.W.
and this fact was, of course, well known to both El.SI-IOFF and %LU'HDSOH. It
is noted that the above facts are inconsistent with ELSHOFF's statement to
1-'i.Ai'I-ITER as indicated in his memorandum dated November 1, 1941, to the effect
that ELSFO T personally had bought certain assets and the unexpired portion
of a lease of Kine A, and had in turn leased these assets to the Mine B Coal
Company, which was then operatic; Mine A.-
In general, the point to be proved in connection Iith the Mine A
matter is that E;I..S1¬OEF, an employer, conspired with BDIJUZYDSOEI and other
officials of U.K;W. to deprive the employees of Mine A of their rights under
the National Labor Hlations Act.
In interviewing 'ri:'1GITnl?< it is desired, oi course, that everything
he may be able to recall concerning his conversations with ELSHOFF, EDHEHDSOH,
and any other persons he may have interviewed be recorded. However, it is
requested that ?U=TN'ER be asked the following specific questions; - _ M
1. Did ELSHOFF indicate whether he or OSCA§!%ALCETTI, his
Superintendent, had indicated to any of the former employees of Mine A that
he hoped to mine the seam of coal in Mine A from Bins B1
2- Did ELSFZOFF indicate whether he or FLLCETTI had advised any
former employees of Mine A concerning the belief that he was not obligated
to hire any of the former employees of Mine A since he had not taken over I.
corporation but had merely purchased some of the assets of the corporation?
3. Did ELSHOFF indicate to WAGNER whether he would have declined
to operate Mine A through its own shaft if the former employees of Kine A
had not switched affiliations from PJ-LA. to U-HJIJ

4. It is noted that EDHUNDSON stated to WAGNER that the employees
of Mine A were undoubtedly afraid that ELSHOF? would mine his newly acquired
property through Mine B, and that to avoid this they came to him and signed
applications for membership in the U.M{3.A. WAGNER should be asked if
EDIETDSGY explained why the Mine A employees undoubtedly had this fear, and
also whether BDHUIDSOF explained why the Kine A employees felt that they
could correct the situation by coming to him and signing applications for
membership in the U.M.h.A. HAGHER should also be asked whether EDMUWDSQN
indicated that he or any other U.M.W. official fostered any propaganda which
would lead the Mine A employees to believe that Kine A would be operated if
they signed up with U.HJN.
5. 'RA3'E? should be asked whether he inquired of either EDHUNDSON
or LLSECFF to determine whether U.H.W. had any financial interest in Mine L.
If HAGJJE did not make such inquiries he should be asked whether either
EDH?Y;SOI or ELSHOFF volunteered any information indicating that the assets of
Kine A were in fact owned by U.H{§. through BURKE, their Attorney.
6. If EASIER indicates that he had no information concerning the
ownership of the assets of Mine A by U.M.i. he should be asked whether the
possession of such information at the time of his investigation would have made
any difference in his official actions concerning the atter.
In the event that Ln. aGILH's memory is substantially refreshed as
the result of the interview and he is able to furnish any probative information,
that information should be reduced if at all possible and practicable to a
signed statement.
In view of the fact that the Springfield Division has only two
copies of the enclosure transmitted herewith, it is specially requested that
the enclosure transmitted herewith be returned with the San Francisco report
to the Springfield Field Division.
I wish to again point out the extreme urgency and the expeditious
nature of the investigation requested of the San Francisco office in this
letter, particularly because of the possibility of Grand Jury action in the
imrediete future. San Francisco is requested to submit a report in this mat
A.r.A.S.D., nine copies to the Bureau, and four to the Springfield Division,
not later than October 5, 1943.

Dear Sir: '
In connection with the investigation at this oaee by the
Springfield Field Divisim omaiderable inquiry has been [Ill relativeto the etteapted purohaee {Qt the Panther Greek lines, Inc., Spring-field, Illinois CARL H. IISHOFF ever a period extending {rm the
summer of 1941 not ,
During the oourae .: thia inquiry no. mm: chsononnn,President of the Panther Creek lines, Inc. Iae interrielhd. It
appears that in the early part or June, 1942 Ir. 3010! ! Iith his
attorneys had a eontermoe with EISBOFF relative to the possible
purchase or the Panther Creek lines. Lt that time it developed that
E131-10!? had in hie possession facts and Iignrea izioh analyaed tb
financial eetup oi the Panther Creek lnee at that till. BISHOFF
had actual gures on the estimated value of the hnther Greek
properties and its indebte&:eae for the para oi 1936 and 1937.
BLSHOFF at that time stated that he obtained thin data in Iaahingtm,
11.6. In the sane oomreraatien EISHQFF cunented that before he

CIVIL RIG!-t1S and DOIIESTIC VIOLENCE
Dear llr. Hoover:
Hr. FRANK COLEMAN, Assistant to the Attorney General, appeared
in Springfield, Illinois on September 1.0, l9L3.snd called at mr office
for a conference in connection with this case. He was apprised general-_
Iy of the results of the investigation as oi the date of the conference.
He appeared to be very well satisfied with the results of the investiga-
tion te date and made no unusual requests or suggestions while stthis
office. .
- As a matter oi personal interest to you, he confidentially
informed me that he had been informed by the Attorney General that
President ROOSEVELT had approved the indictment of subjects in this
case and trial of subjects subsequent to indictment. He indicated that
the Grand Jury would convene to hear the evidence in this matter about
October l, 1943, although he does not know definitely at the present
time whether the case will be presented in Iashington, 12.0. or at
Springfield, Illinois. He mentioned that Federal Judge CHARLES G.
BRIGGLE in Springfield was a Republican and indicated that the Depart-
ment was giving consideration to the possibility that he might be
biased in the matter in the event the case was tried before him, due
to the fact that charges might be brought by the opposition-E1:b'!endants!
that the case was political persecution on the part of the adminis rationHe also stated that he learned in Springfield casually that EIIIUB-Q%URKE,
Attorney for U.l!.I. was Jun Conlnissioner and that BURJCE ighvemert some
influence through this position to Tavor the defendants in this case. He
said if the case was presented to a Federal Grand Jury in Springfield,
that probably the 92Bepertment would request th nt of another
Jury Commissioner for the handling of this r matter'.""""" Ibi '41:], 4-'>"/ ;As a matter of strategy which might ea to
tion being obtained from subject ELSI-I01-F, owner
involved in this case, Er. COLEMAN stated that in a 1

the facts are presented to a Federal Grand Jury at Springfield, Illinois, the
facts in instant rratter would be presented to the Grand Jury first and if an
indictment is returned, it would be announced in the press immediately that
the indictments were returned, and the details of the indictment would be re-
leased, and at the same time, a statement would be made to the press that the.

," ~ If e might break and tes
, . , o course, no ca am way approval or dis-
approval of such a procedure.I-
T I thought you would be interested in having called to your attention
-'"* the publicity which has been released from an unknown source in connection with
s e this investigation, which possibly has interfered to a certain extent with the
is-' ; successful culmination of the investigation. I called to the attention oi the
' R Bureau by letter dated September 10, 191,3 that a number of persons had declined
to furnish state nts to Agents in this investigation with the advice that theirAttorney, ARTHUEn_5¬IT2GERAlD, should be consulted. The names oi those persons
who, as of September 10, 1943, had failed to divulge information to Agents
without consulting their Attorney, were set forth in an letter of that date.
Up to Septe.-zber 5, l9L3, the Agents working on this case had encountered no
diificult;,' in obtaining statements from any oi the persons interviewed. There
J was a decided change beginning with interviews to be conducted on September 5,
1943 when a number of persons began to tell Agents that they should consult
their Attorneys or they would say that they did not desire to make any state-
ments unless the Attorney was present at the time of the interview.
vb, s -,3 I %e also previously called to the attention of the Bureau, that
Fr. WALTER T AI, Attorney at Law, Springfield, Illinois, and a member of the
7- firm oi ARTHUR FITZGEPALD, called at this office on September '7, 1943, to re-
_ quest copies of the statements previously executed by FB.92N}§;'_AUSTI1~l, J ,
-u.;1'._ and one BAULTGAETNER. I think that this change in the attitude of persons inter- f.v--. viewed by Agents working on this case may possibly be attributable to a United
~ Press release which appeared in the Illinois State Register on September 3, 1943
which bore a Washington date line of the same date. This item carried the fol-
101'Iing three column heading on the front page oi the Register: "U.S. Grand Jury
to Sift F.B.I. Investigation into U.l!.W. Mine B Deal." Particularly it was
stated in this item "Reliable Sources Said an Inquiry by F.B.I. was about - 1
- completed and that the matter would be placed before a Federal Grand Jury here
T 1~_e Department officials declined to comment. This particular item, of course,
- " possibly put the U.u.w. officials in Springfield on notice of the status or
' this case. The information that the investigation was about completed was, referring to Washington! or at Springfield." The item stated that the Justice

Director -3- 9-13-43
Mr. COLEIEAN oi the Department is aware of the fact that a number of
the persons ii&.T'iTi6iEd by Agents oi this office have net with an uncooperative
attitude on the part oi certain persons desired to be interviewed who have de-
clined to make statements pursuant to advice from an Attorney, or who have
failed to make statements without being in the presence of an Attorney at tin
time of the interview. He stated at the conference in my office on the night
of September 10, 191.3 that ii specific instances arose where specific individ-
uals were asking the miners not to make statements to the F.B.I. Agents, that
he may contact Federal Judge CPABJJIS G. BRIGGLE at Springfield, or United
States Attorney HOWARD L. DOYLE, and ask them to make a statement for publica-
tion to the effect that such advice would be an obstniction of justice. I
did not express approval or disapproval oi such a procedure as this. lir-
COILZIJAN will return to Iashington in the near future, and he may take this
point up with the Bureau.
Hr. COLTILZAN also stated that if an indictment is returned in this
case that he may recommend to the Attorney General that the Attorney General
request the Bureau to conduct an investigation oi the Petit Jury.
In connection with the sale of Mine A by Ir. HAN of Epringfield,
Illinois to subject ELSHOFF in 1941, lit. COLEEAN has requested that the
employees of Kine A at the time of the sale to subject ELSHOFF be interro-
gated and statements obtained as to whether they desired to become members '{;
of the U.l£.W. or whether they automatically voted to become U.lf.W. members F
because oi the tactics used by U.l£.".'.'. in converting line B to U.H.W.
membership. There are approximately three hundred persons to be interviewed
in connection with this particular incident.
In connection with the interviews of the miners who were employed
at liine B just prior to the shut dolm, the greater percentage of these persons
have been interviewed. However, a number of these persons whereabouts are not
definitely known at the present time and I discussed with LT. COLEKAN whether
it would be necessary to conduct extensive investigation to locate these personsfor interview, and he stated that if they were not available for interview in - '
this immediate area that no further effort should be made to locate them at ! 1; . ;
this time. It is suggested that the Bureau comunicate this information to 5the Department so that it can be confirmed by the Ibpartment directly with th£ '
Bureau. I
ifr. COLEMAN raised the question as to the possibility of interviews
with subjects in this case, and it was agreed that no interviews would be con- , .-ducted with those persons who are considered subjects at the present time 9. :unless the Department directed a specific request to do so to the Bureau. his

no-. couzmn has previously made a request that a representative he 'number of the P.92:.A. operators in this area be interviewed to determine if y 1
subject EISHDFF had endeavored to purchase their mines similarly to the :1,purchases of line A and Mine B. At the conference on September 1.0, 1.943 U
with Hr. COLELLAN he stated that he did not believe the interviews with
these operators were Justified at the present time, and that such interviews
should be held in abeysnce. He requested that the attempted purchase of a
mine in Bond County, Illinois previously mentioned by him in a memorandum
be investigat-and this will be done, end also a mine in Fulton County.
In a memorandum Iran the Bureau from Ir. T0! G. CLARK, Assistant
Attorney General, dated August 30, 1943, certain investigation was suggested
in connection with the fies paid to the firm of Iinston, St:-awn, and Shaw at
Chicago, Illinois, who were shown as Counsel for the Kine B Coal Cmparw on
some of the pleadings filed with the Labor Board during the year 1938. It
was stated in this memorandum that it was not believed that subject ELSHCFF
or lfine B was in a position to retain this firm and the conjecture was that
the firm was retained by the U.92!.W. on ElSHOFF'e behalf. This was discussed
with no-. COLEIILAN, and he stated that he had two different attorneys look up
the law to determine if this would be privileged information, and that it was,
and that no inquiries should be made by this office at this time unless e =
direct request is made by the Department of the Bureau. It is suggested that
this particular point be called to the Department's attention by the Bureau
so that it can be confirmed by the Department. .
C_-» Special Agen$ -hd were present with
me at the time of the co erence . C -.
The above is supplied for your information. Aw difficulty encounter-
ed in the remaining investigation in this case which might be attributable to
premature publicity will be specifically called to the Bureau's attention.
Very truly yours,

the field offices shall not furnish copies of the reports to the ii. S.
Attorneys until specically instructed by the hzreau because we never know
whether the Department wants the U.S. Attorneys to have them or not. It
was explained that this is probably the reason the reports have not been nade

I incpired if they desired that we give copies to the U. S. Attorney
at Springfield. He said that Doyle is caning to Iaehington this coming Saturday
and it would be better if Doyle were flniliar with the details so that they could
discuss the matter on his arrival. I told him we eould he glad to fumish
copies to Doyle if this is in accordance with his desires. He said he would
appreciate it- very much if they were made available to Doyle and also told as
that the Springfield Office had done afine Job on the investigation.

Dear Sir s
The Bureau is advised that a conference was held with H. I"RL'K
COLEMAN, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, in my office on the
late afternoon of September 18, 1945. At the time he called st aw office
he was accompanied by Ir. PAT COOKS, anoaer Special Assistant to the At-
torney General. The purpose of this conference was to go over 1 number of
points Er. COLEMAN desires to be handled, inasmuch as he contemplates that
the facts in this ease will be presented to the Federal Grand Jury eon-
vening in Springfield, Illinois, on September 29, 1943. Be said he was
leaving for iisshington on the night of September 13, 1945, and tint he
would direct 1 memorandum to the Bureau setting forth in detail any ad-
ditional investigation he desired.
He was very well pleased with the status oi the case 1s of September
18, 1945 and said that most of the investigation he desired had been oom-
pleted, particularly insofar as presentation of the facts to 1 Federal Grand
Jury is concerned.
"7" --1.-
The min request of iir. GOLEiéCu' was in connection with the 1..'i3iTm.
of sub-poenaes to persons whose presence night be desired before the Federal '
Grand Jury at Springfield, Illinois. He said he had reached 1 decision to
subpoena all P-.ll.A. members at lne B in lly 1937 Iho are presently employed
at either hine B or line A in Springfield, Illinois. lie requested this
office to prepare 1 list of all of mess persons and said he would call as
from Washington, D. C. at such time 1s he desired this list to be furnished
to the U. 8. Attorney at Springfield, Illinois, so that immediate subpoenaes
could be issued for their presence before the Federal Grand Jury. I informed
Mr. COLBLIUJ that no written requested had been received from the Department
through the Bureau at Washington to furnish any reports or other data to the ,
U. S. Attorney at Springfield, Illinois, and I requested him to take up
directly with the Bureau the furnishing of am; names or reports to the U. 5. -

Springfield and has from time to time discussed the investigation to date with

vesti ation and feels that it has been handled in an excellent manner. Coleman8hat th Springeld Office prepare suns charts based upon recently requested t ecertain financial transactions in the case for possible use before the Federal

The election was held in the armory. Saw-tly before the pills opened a
representative oi the United line Iorkera eaee in and handed B91-the a
letter or notice, indicating that the United eoold not hrs observers
present at the polls. the aetnal balloting was quite uneventful.

of Just hour the secrecy of his ballot ens preserved. Also on one or two
occasions during the balloting, representatives or the Progressives can to
Bertha with esell dodgers that were being passed out outside the Araory.
iltho t! these dodgers bore the printed signatures of the Progressive liners,
The Progressive mics representative landing thee to B,rthe insisted that the
P:-cg-esaive had not printed then and were not distributing them, charging
that thie Rae being done by the United ne Iorkere.
Q. Do you Imus whether or not any ineeetigetion was ends by the National
Labor Relations Board or the allegation or trend in the election and whet,

"1. Iee, an investigation was aede. After the eonclusion of the balloting
the United Idne Iorkers led with the B..gima1 Director at Chicago,
Cbjeotions to the conduct or the ballot. these Qajeotione were investi-
gated by I-. Bertha. I believe that Regional Director Bajort eondeoted
a part of the investigtien personally. A Regional Director's Report on
Cbjeotione was prepared by Bajork and screed upon the parties. This
report sunariaed the results of the investigation and together eith the

I an uneertain aa to whether thie petition eae one deeignating aenherehip
in the United line Iorkere or whether it eae one tor the Prozreeeive line
Icrkere. I do not at the aoaent recall enrthing epeoirio ae to the date

Q as you will recall, was brought here specially for 0. conferenceat e partment rega additional accounting investigation. I ed-
vised Hr. Hellford that was leaving either tonight or in the norm-
ing.
iniie discussing this case th xiii, I also apprised 3-tr. ,..%"wd
of the fact that no decision has been communicated to the Bureau regardingthe grand Jury - that is, whether this case will actually be presented to kwthe present Federal Grand Jury sitting at Springfield, Illinois. SAC HeJ.1- '
ford pointed out that he had a fraud case which it was suggested to the USA
night be presented to the present grand Jury prior to its probable dismissal
on Friday of this week, namely, October 1. The USA told Hallford that the
fraud case should be held up until three weeks Iran now when another grand
,jIg}r uould be sitting, Although there is no basis for it, SAC Hallford
feels this night be pertinent in that 8- special grand Jury my be called in
