Q. How many?
A. None went, but we allowed them to go if they could get the men. I told Mayor Phillips distinctly, that if they could get scabs enough to go on them that I would guarantee that any man who would scab it over the road would not be hurt.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. What do you mean by a scab?
A. I consider a scab when a set of men combine themselves together for a certain purpose—when a man goes back on his obligations, or, in other words, if a man will work for less wages than his fellow men, and preach before going out on a strike that he will stand up for those wages.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. You call those scabs?
A. Yes.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Do you mean non-union men?
