Q. What was done next?
A. The balance of the day the men could not do anything. The crowd appeared to increase all the time.
Q. Did you have any conversation with those men that refused to go at first to ascertain their reasons for their refusal?
A. I asked what their reason was for not going, and they allowed that they would not run on double-headers.
Q. All gave that as their reason?
A. Yes.
Q. Had you any knowledge before Thursday morning that such a refusal would be made?
A. No; I didn't have the slightest idea until I went up that morning from the west end of the yard.
Q. Did you talk with the men to find out whether there was any prearranged plan to strike that morning?
A. I did not ask them anything about it. They might have had an idea of striking, but I don't think the time was set. That being the morning that the double-headers was to go out, they picked on that morning very suddenly.
