Mr. Tavenner. You were active enough in the union to be made a steward.
Mr. Stenhouse. That is right. I was a shop steward.
Mr. Tavenner. Was it your duty, as a shop steward, to represent the membership of the union in legitimate grievances?
Mr. Stenhouse. Well, we never had any. And all I did was collect dues and turn them over to another fellow.
Mr. Tavenner. Were any of the persons from whom you collected union dues members of the group of the Communist Party to which you referred?
Mr. Stenhouse. No. No; I don’t think they were.
Mr. Tavenner. Was this a mixed group, men and women?
Mr. Stenhouse. In the discussion group?
Mr. Tavenner. Yes.
Mr. Stenhouse. Yes; I think it was only men.
