     1        election."
     2        A.  OK.
     3
     4   Q.   Which were the other charges that were resolved informally
     5        that you refer to in your statement?
     6        A.  Could you refer me to the statement, because you are
     7        confusing me.
     8
     9   Q.   Sorry.  It is on page 15.
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  The confusion is that there is no word "other".
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  There does not have to be a word "other".  I am not
    14        confused at all, Mr. Rampton.
    15
    16   THE WITNESS:   OK.  Where are you looking at?
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:   The middle of the page, there is a sentence that
    19        says: "Some of these charges" -- which were the numerous
    20        charges that you referred to in the sentence
         before -- "were resolved informally."  Then you refer to
    22        the agreement to post notices in the restaurants.
    23        A.  Correct.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And the rest were dismissed by the National
    26        Labour Relations Board?
    27        A.  That is correct.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  What were the other charges that were resolved
    30        informally, apart from the one charge about putting up
    31        proper notices?
    32        A.  That was everything.
    33
    34   Q.   That was everything?  So when you say "some of these
    35        charges", what you meant was "one of the charges"?
    36        A.  No.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why do you say that?
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  Because he has put "some of the charges".
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.  But the agreement to post notices
    43        could have resolved a number of charges, for all I know.
    44        It did not have to be one charge.
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  All right.  What were the charges that were
    47        resolved informally?
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What sort of charges were resolved by the
    50        agreement to post notices and what sort of charges were 
    51        dismissed? 
    52        A.  OK.  Those things that were dismissed were allegations 
    53        that we had done things -- I think you had called them
    54        "sweeteners" earlier.
    55
    56   Q.   Undue influence of one kind or another?
    57        A.  Yes.  Those were dismissed.  The areas that the NLRB
    58        felt required some notices were conflicts between us and
    59        the union as to what could be said and what could not be
    60        said during an election campaign, and what could be done
