Q. Was there anything communicated from the Trainmen's Union to the Engineers' Brotherhood of a strike?
A. Not that I know of.
Q. If you know anything of the origin or the cause of the strike, I wish you to state it to us fully?
A. All I know about it, is the reduction of the wages ten per cent.
Q. That you think was the cause of it?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Was there any order on the Fort Wayne road for running double-headers?
A. No, sir.
Q. Then the only thing that they had to complain of on the Fort Wayne and Chicago road, was the ten per cent. reduction, was it?
A. Yes, sir.
