A. There is nothing connected with that organization, only to elevate labor by legal means.
Q. I suppose they would not call striking, quitting work, illegal means?
A. No; my view of the question, a man has just as much right to quit work, and that is legal.
Q. But that is a question, whether this is a part of the objects of the association. Whether in case the men felt that they have been aggrieved by the reduction of wages—whether the association acts as a unit in forwarding a strike, in assisting the men, to all quit work simultaneously?
A. Oh, no; nothing of the kind.
Q. Nothing of the kind in the by-laws and constitution?
A. No; I do not know of anything that I could draw such an inference from.
Q. Is this association in existence now?
A. Yes, it is.
