Amalgamated Association because of the

eliminating the Amalgamated. would
you have bargained collectively with
your men?"
Yes" responded the witness.
Referring to the meeting with his
employees. presided over by President
King. at which seventy-five or eighty
signed individual contracts. Senator
johnson pointed out that meeting was
expected next day with a so-called
grievance committee, and asked If
those individual contracts could have
been superseded by a possible agree
ment next day?
President King said he signed the
individual contracts as the matter lin
hand. to keep the road running If the
men collectively should later prefer to
make other contracts. he would have
conferred with them. The point Senator
johnson apparently had in mind was
that the company might next day have
made collective contracts, which would
have invalidated the individual con-
tracts.
