A. I think there would have been.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Why do you think there would not have been?
A. The men were working on peaceably, and apparently contented, and there were no demonstrations made, whatever, and they were getting reasonable pay.
Q. Did you hear any of those strikers say it was because the men struck at Pittsburgh and in Virginia or any other place?
A. You could get no reason out of them. I conversed with many men, but there was scarcely an instance in which he would acknowledge that he was a striker. He stopped simply because the rest of the men stopped.
Q. It was apparently infectious?
A. I don't think I met with a dozen men who would acknowledge that they were interested in the strike.
By Mr. Means:
Q. He proposed that if he was in Rome he would do as Rome does?
