President Lyndon B. Johnson
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Honored Sir,
We feel that James Hoffa is creating a monopoly for
the purpose of making the office of the President of
The United States impotent. He is spending millions
of
dollars right now to increase rapidly the number of
members in the Teamster's Union. Why? He is driving to
get a universal contract between his members and their
employers. Again why?
Hoffa is for Hoffa and Hoffa only, he doesn't operate
for love. When the time is ripe, and he is a keen judge
of economic and political situations, he will call a
universal strike and the United States will be paralysed.
Then comes the test of power, Hoffa vs. Johnson. The pre-
sident can call out troops, there will be violence and
bloodshed. A great hue and cry will go up from the Team-
ster millions-" Johnson is a Butcheri". Terribly serious
for the President, possibly catastrophic for the role of
The United States as world leader and its economy.
Can't something be done, and immediately, to head this
off? The role of the Teamster's Union is that of render-
ing a service to the people of The United States. A bank
renders a service to the people of The United States. If
a bank wishes to add the services of another bank to
those it now renders that bank must get approval from the
proper government agencies. If it is proven that a monopoly
may created thereby, permission is not granted. The same is
true regarding railroads and all industry. Why is Hoffa per-
mitted to openly create a monopoly for the ulimate pur-
pose of challenging the power of The President of The United
States? Why should he be allowed to hold in his hand the whip
which can make a national election go Hoffa's way-or else?
I hope that action may be taken at once to halt this
procedure before it is too late.
Respectfully yours
