Q. Do you know what they were actually getting?
A. I did know, and I had it from the railroad officials—I had it from them, but I have forgotten what it was.
Q. Were any of them getting less than a dollar a day—trainmen?
A. I think they were paid by the trip, but I do not recollect that any of them were getting less than that. I would not speak positively in regard to that. It may be possible. I have a memorandum of that in my pocket-book. I never expected to be called before a committee, or I would have saved some of these things that I had. It may be I have something here that will enable me to answer that question.
Q. If you find it hereafter you can send it to us, and we can attach it to your testimony.
A. It was a copy of a telegraph—you asked me a question; it would have answered it. It was a copy of a telegraph I had sent to Mr. McCullough on the subject, and his reply to it, but I think that, supposing that the thing was ended, my impression is that I have destroyed it.
Q. Have you anything else to communicate, Mr. Bennett?
A. Nothing; but I would bear testimony to the fact that the citizens of Pittsburgh appeared to be anxious to do everything they could to put down this riot, and there was no sympathy with the rioters—none whatever.
Q. You had a good deal to do in raising the force of citizens to put down the riot?
A. I had, perhaps. The first move, I told you, was on Sunday. A good many of my most intimate acquaintances were among the rolling mills, and quite a large number of them were out of the city. I sent for Mr. Park.
