A. Working in the mines.
Q. Were you at home on the 1st day of August last.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Had the miners been at work up to that time?
A. I believe not, sir.
Q. What time did they quit work?
A. I could not tell exactly. They had not worked for a week or so—nearly a couple of weeks, for all I know.
Q. Were they on a strike?
A. Our men did not strike at all. Our men were all working, and stopped for want of cars.
Q. Stopped because there were no cars to carry the coal away?
