A. No.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. It was arranged then by your union that you would strike in case of a reduction?
A. That was what we organized for.
Q. Do you claim the right at all times to strike as a body? Do you claim that it is one of the rights that you have?
A. I claim that every free born American citizen, if necessary, has the right to quit work if he wants to. That is what I call striking—quitting work.
Q. Doing anything more?
A. We have no right to destroy property.
Q. Do you claim it as a right to interfere with those who want to work?
A. It is a right to use mere suasion. If I were to see you rushing on headlong on the breakers, and I can stop you, I would do so.
