He wrote at the union's request to express sympathy for wage and condition improvements and avoids involvement in another state's matter. Mandel plans talks with state and Baltimore officials on Friendship International Airport and weighs powers to return liquor seized by state agents, considering a remittance or return to the import limits under Maryland law.
