Heading: Coercive conduct of individual respondent, James Fier.

Text: 18 The testimony of the local union secretary, Jewell Sanders, is to the effect that in October, 1951, when the strike had been in progress about two months, an unidentified person made a number of insulting and abusive night telephone calls to her harassing her with irresponsible accusations of sexual immorality, and threats against the safety of herself and family. After the disturbing calls had continued for a period of several weeks, Sanders and her mother supposedly identified the voice of the anonymous caller as belonging to James Fier, one of the watchmen employed by respondent Southern, who had been assigned to night watchman duties at National's plant. As identifying Fier with the anonymous caller and fastening National with responsibility for his calls, the examiner refers to parts of Sanders' testimony: 19 One night, in October, immediately after cutting off Fier's call, she dialed the operator, said she had been cut off, and asked if she would reconnect or give her the number so she could dial back. The operator gave her `CY4' — and then stopped, saying she was sorry but she could not give her any more information. 20 The telephone number at the plant of the Respondent National is CY 4655. 21
