I'he wllneas was questioned regard-

'The oieratora have been consider

f a the reply. "Hlnc . 1 u:. w hen
ut .'it'i of tiur men were dm
irged In aouthern Colorado for be
ging to the union, we have lwum
itlous. We kept our membership
ret and the operators never have
ind out how the delegates were
ecled."
lo you object lu telling us, now
it these men are all on strike?"
Only thai this strike Is not over
and e do not care lo give away
hand."
The witness aaid. however, that lo.
unlona had been organised secret
and thu all the members were ol
id lu vol fur delegulca. He aald
I the cunvetitmn was composed of
ut StMl delegates 'ind that the

he wllneas then told of the efforts

In thut caae," aaked llrpresenta-

Well. It will do no harm," replied
wltneaa.
.swoon then told of the efforts of

I labor and bcrrelary Wilson to ael-
Ihe strike.
'hen the witness described the ne
latlons for peace at which com-
tees from miners and operators
i In adjoining rooms aim Uovernor

e fulled to settle the strike, l-uw-tld
of the aubmlasion of two
piMiitioiis by Secretary Wilson and

rd by the men.
-awnon det lared the men rejected
peaca proposal becauea It did not
'vide for Increased wsgea or recog
on of the union. The operators, he
I. accepted the proposition, which
declared waa identical with the
na the employers themselvea had
milled lu the governor several
; ks before.
he wltneaa laid of the meeting or
urs of Colorado paiera at which
resolutions were ador d regard
the settlement of (he airike.
tcpreeenintlva Austin asked Ijiw-
son how many men had been killed In
the strike, lie mentioned that Her
ald Mpplut was killed In August pre
ceding the strike and enumerated the
atrlkeia who, he aaid. hud been killed
In the fighta during the strike.
Prompted by Judge Northcutt he told
of the killing of a nuinlier of guards
Ituverting to the meeting of edi
tors. I-awaon auld lie had an Invita
tion to attend but was stopped st Ihe
door and not permitted to enter.
The cross-examination waa.hegun
by Fred Harrington of counsel for
the mine operators. The witness was
iuctloned regarding union activity In
various parts of the Male. He was
then naked about conditions In Ihe
Fremont mine In Fremont county.
"The Inrge companies never entered
Into a contract with the union In Fre
mont county, did they?"
"Not to my know ledge."
"1ii you believe Ihe union oraanlxa
lion In Fremont county exiated with
or without the knowledge of Ihe com
pany officers'.'"
"I presume they knew something
alHiut It."
"IN you know Ihe superintendents
of any of tl Fremont county mines'.'"
"I know some of them "
"lii you know of . rtup'-rlntemlent
tave tlrifriiha ever sending anybody
"down Ihe tanyon" because they be
longed to the union?"
"I can't give any specific Inatance
of this action."
"Inn l It a fuel that the superin
tendents of those mines have lived In
harmony with Ihe men until this
airike?"
"Yes. for the most part."
In his direct examination lamin
hnd testified thut the men In Ihe
Fremont mine hud been dissuaded
from striking by the officers of the
l ulled Mine Workela, gild thst on
that occasion the controversy waa
over a system of screening put Into
effect by the cos I company. Mr.
Ilerrlngton tried to get the wltnesa
to admit that payment on the mine
run baais waa unfair lo the .tvto
efficient workmen. Law on. how
ever. Insisted that the relative
amount of lump and sack coal
brought out by any individual mlnei
was dependent rather on the mine
management and the character of
ihe workings than upon the effi
ciency of the miner.
At 11:16 the committee took lun
cheon recesa until 1 o'clock. It was
announced thut a night session would
be held. It wss not considered
probable that the investigators would
go lo Trinidad before tomorrow
