"I replied 'that I had not criticized Mr. Steinbrink, but that I resented being spied on. Issues Challenge "The conversation got pretty hot and that was when Mr.

Steinbrink made his veiled threat. Then he said. I could come back and face my accusers. I told him I'd return the next day and walked out. "I came back in the morning and found a man I knew in the elevator.

I accused him of being the talebearer. He denied it. Mr. Steinbrink was said to be out. I left word for him I was glad to have met one of his tool Mr.
