Q. As far as the military is concerned: if you had called for the military, you would have considered it was your duty to give general supervision and direction, within the limits of the city, in putting down the disturbance?
A. I would have done all I could. I would have assisted the military all in my power.
Q. You regard the military subordinate to the civil authorities?
A. I think so; yes, sir.
Q. Did Robert Ammon tell you how many lodges of Trainmen's Unions he had established?
A. I do not remember the number, sir, but he said a goodly number?
Q. Did he tell you on what roads he had established them?
A. He told me he had been on different roads. Eastern and western roads, if I remember rightly.
Q. Did he tell you the object of that Union?
A. As I gathered, it was to see about regulating the wages—to control—to compel—that is the substance of it. A very hurried conversation we had, and a good deal of excitement at the time.
