They were six-inch "segregated files," containing letters from rank and file union members relating stories of un ion abuses.

"If the writers could overcome their fears of testifying, I should Imagine 200 or 250," Pegler re plied. Pegler was summoned by the committee after he had writ ten in his column that the com mittee "need only ask me" about undemocratic union practices. Rep. Bourke (D-Ohio), a for mer union leader in Toledo, com plained that Pegler generalized his attack on all unions and their members. Pegler said he hadn't Intended to.
