Following is the text of Mr. Jones' letter:
April 8, 1952
11:00 P.M.
Dear Mr. President:
I just listened to your talk -- and think you did
a very fine job of presentation.
I tried to wire you but could not -- because the
Western Union is on strike -- but I'd like the answer to a
couple questions.
1. You speak of $19.00 profit to steel companies --
Is this before or after taxes -- and if before, which I think
it is, what is the profit after taxes and would it be fair to
mention it?
FUUMAN,
2. What about the closed shop -- which I did not

hear you mention.
3. Why was not the Taft Hartley Act used before --
apparently now it is too late.
4. Is it true that the so-called "Public" members of
the board were appointed on the recommendation of labor?
5. Is it true that the final recommendations of the
board exceed the demands of labor.
I
note this is more than a couple questions -- but
we'd be interested in the answers.
Sincerely,
C. S. Jones
