A. I only presume they were. I could not say that any one individual was there, but I presume there were, and had good reason to think so. They were Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad men were there. That is, miners, not railroad men, but miners. The coal and iron company's men were there—some of them—and some were there from Munica, a village below here, and some from Taylorville, and some from Old Forge, and they were anxious to know what the report would be of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western committee, and they came here, anticipating to hear that report, because the success or the failure of the strike, in the main, was dependent upon the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western men, and if the report of this committee would be of such a nature as would advise the men to work, then the strike would end immediately, while if they held out, I suppose the rest would.
Q. Did you get any report of the committee?
A. No, sir.
Q. Nothing of the kind?
A. Nothing of the kind.
Q. Did you learn what action had been taken by the committee and the officers of that committee?
A. No, sir; not at that time. I do not know whether they had taken any action at all—whether they were prepared to make a report.
Q. Was any motion made to adjourn?
A. Down at that meeting?
Q. Yes?
