In the event of further consideration being given to the matter we   
discussed, of making use of certain leaders in an advisory capacity, I   
regret, as I indicated at the time, that it would not be wise to consider   
me as a member of such a group. It would be outside the field in which I   
feel that I would like to, and can, most usefully work. No one knows   
better than yourself that the labor filed, with recurring troubles, is   
one of continuous strain. For this reason, I am advised , I should not   
        undertake such a responsiblity at this time.        
 
                                                            
 
 
I would always want you to feel free however to call upon me whenever I   
         can be helpful in a particular situation.          
 
                                                            
 
 
I am informed that Mr. Walter C. Teagle and Mr. Charles E. Adams, both of   
the Mediation Board have seemed to be working together cooperatively and   
constructively in these affairs. I of course have known Mr. Teagle   
favorably for a ong time, but I have very little personal acquaintance   
                      with Mr. Adams.
