La S alle Street Chicago, Illin o is . Ve are attaching herewith oopies of le t te r from ilr. C. 0. Soharwath, dated September 16th, and our reply. You w ill note In my le tte r to Ur. J . A. Scharwath th at I told him that you w ill get in touch with him on your next tr ip to New York, which I understand w ill be within a ' week or ten days. We consider th is matter important enough fo r you to in v estigate the ao tiv ity of the lawyer bringing th is su it) the origin of the s u it; whether the lawyer is employing runners to sign up p la in t iff s fo r him; what the medical evidence is regarding the p la in t iff referred to; i f th is man i s now or has ever worked fo r u s, and so fa r as you are able to determine i f th is lawyer, or h is runner, has contacted any of our former employees a t Jersey C ity, or any o f our present employees. I t has been necessary in our operation a t Jersey City to reorganize the personnel, which has resulted In dism issal and replacement of certain o f the workers; and with the more e ffic ie n t operation of th is plant further reduction of the operating personnel may be necessary. You w ill re c all the d e ta ils of Dr. Gardner's survey a t Jersey City, and fo r th is reason we must recognize the vulnerable position we are in as regards th is plan t. You oan, therefore, appreciate that we must move very oautiously in any negotiations with Scliarwath or the p la i n t if f 's lawyer. Very tru ly yours, JSO/U
