A. The regular trains were stopped.
Q. Forcibly?
A. Not forcibly. They seemed to be stopped at the dispatcher's office. If they got a permit they would allow them to pass. If a train went out with a permit they would not trouble it.
Q. Did they take forcible possession of the dispatcher's office?
A. I do not know whether it was forcible or not, they seemed to have possession of it.
Q. Did they use any violence towards men that were willing to run trains?
A. I did not hear of an instance of intimidation.
Q. Do you know of any effort being made to have trainmen take out trains?
A. I do not think there was any effort made. They appeared to be all of one mind about that.
Q. Did the strikers say they would prevent them from going out by violence?
