A. No, sir.
Q. What were you paying these men?
A. The puddlers?
Q. Yes?
A. I could not tell you. They work by the ton, do not know what it was. It is not in my department.
Q. Was this W. W. Scranton employed in the works in which you were superintendent?
A. Yes; he is general manager.
Q. Were any of those puddlers in the crowd that came up from the silk-works?
A. I do not know, sir. There was not a single face I knew. All the crowd that I saw, that I came in contact with, were strangers to me, and looked to me more like miners than laborers.
Q. What proportion of the number of men that you had employed, was at work on that day—the 1st day of August?
