Gill: I appreciate your thoughtfulness in writing me during the trying circumstances involved in our recent firemen' problems. I am a great cham.pion of organized labor and the right of coll ctive bargining. I have publicly stated this on many occasions, and carried out my b liefs in every po sible instance. My whole background and training has been a development of the principle that the w lfare of the public as a whol cannot b put in jeopardy under any circumstances. In my opinion, the protective services of a city mu t accept their re ponsibility. T hi responsibility cannot xce pt the right to put ~1e public in jeopardy. I can assure you that I a m fair nd rea onable. Since:rely, Ivan A ll n, Jr. May or IAJr:am �
