By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. I wish you would state once more just what is the object of the Trainmen's Union?
A. It was to resist this reduction of ten per cent., and to see if we couldn't bring the company to terms, and get them to look into our condition, so that anything of the kind should not occur again. We thought our labor skilled labor, and we were running great risks, and we thought we ought to earn more money, that instead of reducing it they ought to increase it. The object was to get up a union so strong that the railroad magnates would have to listen to us.
Q. Did you intend to strike?
A. We did, if they did not accede to our demands.
