Subject: Red River Lumber Co., XX-C-242; Meadow Valley Lumber Co., XX-C-195; Crane Creek Lumber Co., XX-C-197. The We have your memorandum of September 28 regarding these cases. Board, after consideration of the whole problem, has decided that the cases should be held in abeyance until the completion of the cases pending against the lumber companies and the I. E. U. in Portland. The issues in the cases will be essentially the same. You point out in your memorandum that the season is about over. Obviously, therefore, it will be impossible for the Board to take any effective action before the end of this season no matter how soon a hearing would be held. Since no action could be taken and no immediate relief given to the complainants the Board does not think it worthwhile to duplicate the work it is now going through in the Portland cases. After all a determination of the validity of the I. E. U. in the Portland cases will have great bearing on the status of the I. E. U. wherever found. Will you please hold these cases in abeyance, at least until the conclusion of the present Portland hearings. N. L. R. B. EXHIBIT No. 399-B OCTOBER 4, 1937. To: John J.

Claimed Company willing to take back all men except Farnsworth. Also had posted notices as requested. The reasons for not reemploying Farnsworth are because Farnsworth made threats against the Company and is an incipient saboteur. Mr. Hammond thinks Union should accept this settlement. They wish to change date to December 20. Attorney Nelson entering hospital on Tuesday for throat operation. Director suggested joint conference with Union and Hammond re Farnsworth but Hammond stated it would be useful because the Company would never change their attitude toward his reinstatement. Director asked Mr. Edises to phone Mr. Gladstein and advise of Company's request also to talk with Union representative when he telephoned from Eurekaas requested. Mr. Edises reported that Mr. Gladstein thought postponement would be acceptable to Union if Company would send a Dr.'s certificate re Attorney Nelson's Iness and a letter stating that when hearing is held no other attorney would epresent the Company. Mr. Hammond agreed to do this. A. M. ROSSETER. AMR:EM N. L. R. B. EXHIBIT No. 401 HOBBS, WALL & Co. N. L. R. B. EXHIBIT No. 401-A NELSON & RICKS, Eureka, California, February 7, 1939.
