By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did you organize lodges over the Baltimore and Ohio road?
A. Yes.
By Mr. Means:
Q. Was it understood by your lodges that this strike was to commence at Martinsburg?
A. No, sir.
Q. Did you know, before the strike commenced at Martinsburg, Virginia, that it was going to take place?
A. No; of course I heard all that talk. They talked most loud at Martinsburg, but I thought it was all wind. I didn't think they would strike at all.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. When you were telegraphed at Oil City, were you there for the purpose of organizing lodges?
