Q. What men were coming in?
A. The men off the regular freight trains kept coming in there during the day.
Q. They joined the other men?
A. Yes; and swelled the crowd.
Q. Did you talk with those men to find out whether they had arranged for this strike previously?
A. I did not. I blamed them for it, but they denied it. Whether they had made an arrangement or not for that day, I don't know.
Q. They denied an arrangement?
A. Yes.
Q. How many of them denied it?
A. Two or three of them I think denied it. They had made an arrangement previous to this to strike, but from some cause or other it was not carried into effect, and my being a non-union man, I concluded that they had arranged it in such a way that the responsibility would fall on me, and in case it would be a failure I would be the man discharged, and that the union men would not suffer. That was the opinion I formed that morning.
