tilled, were the only serious rxplo
alona which had occurred In the
in i na of hla company sine he
tame head of th rororatlon In 1U7.
The testimony relative to fatalities
came after long aerlee of nullots
hy James Rrcwater. attorney for the
t'nlied Mine vv oi kers of America,
touching Mr. Welbnrn'e knowledge of
mining atailallca In America and
aliroad. In the course ot hi ques
tioning Mr. Urewster declared he
thought Mr. Wclborn too gnore.nl to
be the employer of a.Oiie mine work
ers. In redirect eiamlnullon Welborn
was asked hy his attorney. Fred Mar
rlnaton, whether he rett any obliga
tions to the miners who had taken
employment with the company with
the undcistandlrig that they were to
work under ,-oien shop conditions."
Ves." replied the wllnea with sin
phasls. "I feel so much responsibility
lor them that I ahall never aak them
to leave our mlnea If they don't )ln
a unlor "
,"li you feel under ss much obliga
tion to these men as you do to the
t inted Mine Workers of America T"
"I am under no oliltgiitlons what
ever to the I'nited Mine Workers, und
shall be under none as long as th
organisation retains Us present melh.
Welborn's cross examination
was resumed Ihla morning. Th mln
company president said thul his com
pany was surprised that aa muny ma
remained Jn th mines ss did remain
when th strike waa railed.
"You realise thai this strike would
be a serious matter, did you not?"
ssksd James Brewster, attorney for
in, ktrUers.
Yea, replied Welliorn.
"And yet you would not meet the'
officers of the tilled Mln Workers
for the sak of preventing this
striker
"No."
The witness waa questioned at
length regarding the effect of th
strike, and admitted that rsal prnduc
lion In the lust months of I IS
seriously curtailed.
"Do you think this large number ot
men went out on account of Imagln
try grievances or threaia?"
"Many men left the tt befor th
strike was called, others quit work
bees use they believed what they wer
told by union agitators; large num
bers were coerced by threats."
"I don't consider that any closed

men who Jo not belong to a union. Is
ever preferable iw a non union shop,
mid Mr. Welborn, In response to a
question.
Mr. Urewster asked when the oper
ators first ordered rlttes for ue of
ths guards.
"Our first order of guns was mad
between Heplember IT slid 20, five
liuys after ill first order by th I'ntled
Mln Worker."
"Do you. after rejecting the pio
pneal for a conference with the union
feel no rsiponslblllty for ths tragic
eventa which f oiloa sd '.' asked Urew
ster. "None whatever."
Mr. Weiborn. In responn to fur
ther questions, denies that Judge J.
1. Nortlu'iitt had represented his
company politically In aouthern Colo
rado. A long series of questions abnul
r slivs fulslltles In American and
foreign coal mlnea brought th ad
mission from ths witness that he had
nut mad a study of foreign condi
tions. "M'ttkmit ttvlutilnv I n eeftect nersnn-

L..A. Il'iyden, president of th Jun
iper Coal company of Houit county,
waa culled aa a wllnesa by th com
mittee. Ha told of a conversation
with W. T. Hk-key, secretary of ths
Colorado slat federation of labor, In
which he said he refused to sign a
contract with th I'nited Mine Work
ers of America. Representative
Hyrnes asked: "Did you tell him thai
If you signed th contract th Col
orado Fuel and Iron company would
pin you out of bualneasT"
"1 don't remember any such ststs-
ment by myself."
"Was any on els present?
"Mr. Herat, mv manager, was pres
ent part of th time.'
The witness was questioned about
price of coal In Denver, with th ap-
parent purpose of Initiating th
floutt county operator were subject
ed to ruinous competition.
"Hid you tell Mr. Illckey that If
you signed with th union, th bunk
with which you did business would
refuse to lend you money?' ssked
Representative Ityrnea.
"I mad th statement that If w
did sign th contract, ths bunk th
Denver National bank would be lia
ble to refus to lend ua money. I
thought this was so because an offi
cer of th bank had advised me not t
sign up. II gav Ihla advice cm an
occasion when I asked Him for a losn
of money to keep our mine running
after the strike was called. He naked
ms If wa Intended to sign the union
contract."
"What did you tell him?"
"I told him w would not sign."
"(lid you get your loan""
Yes."
W. T. Hlrkey, eecrelsry of the Col
orado Klste Federation of Labor then
waa called by th committee. He wss
ssked: "Did Mr, Huyden tell you that
he would grant everything you asked
eicspt union recognition, which h
could not grant because If h did th
Colorado Kuel and Iron company
would put him out of business?"
Ya," replied H.ckey.
Th wllnesa waa uncertain whether
llayden or another Kotitt coiu.ty op
erator had told him that in the event
they wished to run the Uoutt county
nines during th strike, guards nl
guns wosld be furnished by the big
