A. Yes.
Q. That was voted down?
A. No, sir; it was carried, at least I presume it was carried, for this reason. I heard the motion made to adjourn where I was in the crowd. I could not get any further up towards the stand, but I came up, and then I heard a vote taken, and I could hear the "ayes," and they predominated, and I presumed it was on that question, for immediately afterwards the crowd dispersed.
Q. The crowd dispersed in the direction of the machine shops?
A. Up this way. Some went up across the river, waded the river, and went to Hyde Park, and some walked the road, and some came up this way and some up the other road.
Q. How many came towards the steel-works on the flat?
A. I could not tell you how many.
Q. Can you judge?
A. There was probably—may be—fifteen hundred or two thousand walking up the street and walking over that way. They didn't all go to the shops that came up.
Q. Did you know that they started to the shops when they started to persuade the men to quit work?
