Mr. Steele consistently testified that these earlier cditions of The Asbestos Worker appear to have
the same format as The Asbestos Worker journals he had produced, and/or simply appear to be The
Asbestos Worker journals. (See id. at 95:20-132:8.)

1. Thave reviewed the above twenty-two (22) issues of The Asbestos Worker that
were produced at the deposition of Mr. Steele, and have compared them to my retained set of The
Asbestos Worker journals from the Intemational Association of Heat & Frost Insulators and
Asbestos Workers Union. All of the issues of The Asbestos Worker that were produced at Mr.
Steele’s deposition have the same format and categories as The Ashestos Worker journals ftom the
International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union that I possess.
Based on the appearance and contents of the jowmals produced at Mr, Steele's deposition, and
when compared to my set of Journals, there is no reason to doubt that the twenty-two (22) issues
of The Asbestos Worker journals produced at Mr. Steele's deposition are true and correct copies of
The Asbestos Worker, the official journal of the International Association of Heat & Frost
Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union.

12. It is, therefore, my opinion, absent evidence to the contrary, and based on my

training, experience, review and comparison of the aforementioned, that all twenty-two (22) issues

of The Asbestos Worker journals produced and attached as Exhibits E1-E11 and F-P to the
deposition of Steve Steel, Volume 1, on August 21, 2009, are true and correct copies of the official
joumal of the Intemational Association of Heat & Frost Insulutors and Asbestos Workers Union,
The Asbestos Worker.

experience, review and comparison of the aforementioned, that, specifically:

cially as to the sub-division of Local No. 32 and Local

Proceed to uferate in accordance with the territorial

map previnusly adopted by our International as the
official cadiused territorial map covering the Middle
Aulantic States. -

The committee representing Local No, 32 and Local
Xo. 89 were officially notified that this territeria) boun-
dary fine as set forth on the map referred to would be
recognized by the General Office as the official dividing
Tine between these two locals and any and all territorial
furisdiction would be based on this boundary Hine.

The General Executive Board mvited all of the As-
bestos Worker delegates in the city attending the
‘Third Annual Legislative Conference to be present at
a special session of the Baard open to all local union
effcers on Wednesday afternoon at which time they
were made familiar with the communication from Gen-
etal President Robert Byron of the Sheet Metal Work-
ers’ International in which he abrogated the to July
Agreements covering jurisdiction and as to
‘ion taken by the Gencral Executive Board to
cease work on al operations where the Sheet Metal
Worker was doing work which rightfully came under
the jurisdiction of oor Imernational Association.

The chair called ro the atiention of the Board Mem-
bers the inrerint decision arrived at by the March.
1956 Board Mceting—“The Board considered the joint
invstation from the Southwest 2nd Sontheast States
Conferences on behalf of their affiliated local unions to
bold the [th Convention of cur International Associa~
tion in the cty of New Oricans, Louisiana, to convene
on the first Tuesday in September, 1957." Vice Presi-
dent Hullinghorst and Vice President Howell will as
co-chainnen take care of all details and are authorized to
make deposits and withdrawals oa checks signed jointly
from funds in the name of “Ashestos Workers Interna-
tional Association Convention Find” in payment of
Convention fund expenses, The Board did then by
‘unanimous decision officialiy, in accordance with our
International Constitntion, declare the city of New Or-
icans the “Convention City” for the holding of our 19th
International Convention and further named the Roose-
welt Hotel in that city as “Convention Headquarters.”

The Secretary was then inetructed to send out the
29S? Convention Delegate Credentials and have ther
in possession of all affiliated locals prior +o their First
scheduled June, 1957 meeting.

Throughout the session all members of.the Genera!
Executive Board made detailed reports as te our craft
conditions within their territory which found our ment-
bership in full employment with very few obliged to
leave their home territory and solicit employment
through neighboring local unions, Every indication is
that the work lead will increase during the coming
year.

Our International Attorney Carlton R. Sickles ap-
Prared before the Board and gave a repart covering his
egal activities in connection with issues involving in
some instances otr International and im other i stances
issues involving jointly ove International and au affi-
Tiated Tocal unions.

eThe 1957 Auto Situation, Buying Opportunities

‘May is one of the best months to
find cut prices on many necessit
from ciathes to cats, ‘This spring e3-
pecially it's worth shopping the sales
for things you need, because we're

‘The atito industry has met its day

the Car Fax Company, 550

By Sidney Margoflius

Another reason for the lag in
sales, bankers say, is that many peo
ple are still paying for all the cars
they ought in 1935, when easy
terms sold a record number of cars,

Mut 2iso, and possibly for the first
time, the public Es showing some ac-
tun! resistance to the styling of cars,
especially to the low height of 1957
models, garage men report. The
low, road - hugging avodlern design
has added to the difheulfies of climb
ing in and out of cars. On some
models, it also is responsible for
niore rain leaks because the door
opening now is cut partly into the
roof, Tn models where the rear seat
protrudes beyornl the docr opening,
passengers have to “angle” into the

car. -
But if the 1957 cars arc harder to
get into, once you're in, the Jawer,
wider design gires you a more stable
tide, with less sway on curves and
comers, The 1957 models in gen-
eral are safer, more stable cars on
the highway. in city traffic, the story
is different. Fhe new longer cars

for more trafic accidents, the Xew

TBE Public is also showing signs
of resenting the man; el changes

Wards reports that there are three
hundred 1937 nvodels, even though
there are now fewer manufacturers,
compared to 272 in 3956 and 260 in
1955. Hardtops and station wagons
are booming in popularity, and man-
idacturers believe that in'a few years
they will displace the standard sedaa
completely. Coupes have almost
vanished.
