He Criticises Sheriff McCleary and Governor Pattison. WILLIAM WEIBE ON AEBITBATION. Councilman A. C Eofcertson Gives His pirience Mitli Strikes. Ex- PEFFER'S COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS The Senatorial committee kept on at its investigation of labor troubles at Home stead and Pinkertonisra yesterday in cheery Parlor C at the Hotel Duquesne. "We are patriotic to a degree," remarked Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, the chair man of the committee, yesterday morning, as an apology for sitting on a holiday. Senator Peffer was in periect iettle for asking the longest questions possible, and his appetite for useful information seemed insatiable. In Chicago they accused the Kansas states man of asking questions as big as a ten-acre lot, but yesterday his colleague laughingly admitted that they had grown as big as quarter sections. Judge Mellon tras as attentive a listener as the stenographer by whom he sat all the morning. He enjoyed the proceedings im mensely, and when Senator Gallincer apol ogized for postponing his examination as a witness till the afternoon, in order to cet the testimony of Mr. Weihe and Mr. Roberts, Judge Mellon said: "I am glad to oblige this committee in any way I can, ior I see that vou are reallv trying to get at facts." Captain Rodgers' Fateful Cruise. Captain James B. Rodgers, of the Tide Coal Company, was the first witness on the stand. He told once more the story of his voyage up to Homestead with the Little Bill and the two barges lull of Pinkertons. His most interesting answers were to ques tions put him about the necessity of em ploying armed guards to protect property. Captain Eodgers said he certainly believed corporations and individuals had the right to hire armed guards; that they were neces sary to protect buildings and other property in case of dispute between employers and their men. His experience in coal mining had taught him that during strikes armed guards were absolutely necessary, just as banks and other institutions kept armed watchmen to guard against thieves and other Ian breakers. Senator Peffer asked Captain Rodgers this question: Q. Would the Homestead men on July 6 Just as soon have filed on United States troops as upon the Pinkertons? A. They would, I believe. Fourth of July and pay day had wrought them up into a great state of excitement. "JL'hey were turbulent, had been drinking a great deal, and were ready to shoot at anyone, without respect to per sons. Q. Vhy do employers hiie men from tho tuibnlent clas-T A. Force of circum stances; they have to employ the men they can pet. Illiteracy is these men's greatest curse, but it Is generally tho men of higher wngeb and higher intelligence who start the dbtmbance. Q. Is there more 'tioublo in coal mining than In any other pursuit? A. It seems so Irora y, hat one read? in the papeis. Tried to Land Them Secretly. Q. When you took the Pinkertons up to Homestead did you try to secuie secrecy! A. I rememDer that Mr. Flick imp' essed his ileaire for secrecy in the movement upon me, so as to avoid a conflict, and that is why the watchmen wcie taken up to the mill by nl-'ht. Q. Please tell us tho difference between a still. e fend a lockout. A. It is a difference that does not amount to much. In a strike the men for some reason or other go out; in the Homestead case the men were not al ios ed to co u tck into the mill unless they agreed to the t-cale prorosea by the firm, andsn wcie locked out ntier being paM off. Q When Mitri iff Gray left tho boat did he make any miunenioiits lor thecaieofthe 1'iukerions on the boats? A. I don't know, but I do know that Shei iff Gray took part in all the consultations us to the movements 01 the men and the boats. Giay was in con trol of tho boats. Mr. Mellon laughed out loud when Sen ator Peffer asked Captain Rodders why cer tain men g t paid better wages than others, and Captain Roilers cheerfully replied be cause they were more stilled. William Weihe, the ex-president of the Amalgamated Association, next laid before the committee in a very lucid manner ex actly how the difference occurred between the Carnegie Company and its men at Homestead last summer, explaining that the principal ohjectiou of the men was to changing the scale-sicning date from sum mer to winter, which they thought would put them at a great disadvantage. The Average Reduction Demanded. Examined by Senator Gallinger: Q. What would have been the average re duction In wages iu the Homestead mills had tne comiiany's scale been signed? A. tichtcen per cent on an average some would ha c buffered worse than others. Q. Was the Carnegie Company forced by trade conditions to reduce wages? A. They could afford to keep on pa lug the same waaes. O. After the Carnegie Company had lire- sen ted its ultimatum, why did the men wait till the day before the hist possible dny to abkfora conference? A. The men had to wait to ci n cr among themselves, to get tho reports irom the lodses Q Was there much intemperance at Homestead? A. I have not much chance of knowing, but I know that tho company could always discharge a man addicted to drink and he would have noiedicss; the Amalgamated Association would not assist h:tn to redress. 6. Wouid Homestead men have firoil on the United States troops had tho landed Irom barges? A. So; that's a mistaken idea. Q How no woiktnen look upon employ ment ol armed bodies in connection with labor dispu es? A. With grave suspicion. There is a very bitter feelin. against the Pinkertons. ir the barpes had contained Lniiel States troops the Homestead men would have received them as they did the State troops, in a law-abiding manner. Could liate Preiented Bloodshed. Q How could bloodshed have been pre vented at Homestead? A. If the Carnegie Company had acceded to the request for a inference and knpt up negotiations till July 1 there would have been come amica ble settlement reached: My experience is "hat when things look as they did when the '-'arnegle Company letched the Pinkertons there t still a good chance of a mutually satisfactory agreement. I do not believe lie Carnegie property would have been ln iuied. Mr. Weihe gave no account of his share n the doings of July 6. He had asked Mr. Prick to meet the Sheriff and him for con 'ere nee, but Mr. Prick declined the invita ion, so he, Mr. Weihe, went to Homestead A'ith other Amalgamated officials as peace makers. Q What effect has the sending or detec ives disnii-ea as workingmen among work ngmen? A. Arouses suspicion and discon tnt. The men leel uneasy. Examined Mr. Peffer: Q. Pinkertons are regarded as interfering etween employers and employes? A- Yes. Q. Are United States troops and State nlittla objected to as peace preservers? A. Ko. All workingmen who have given the matter any study know that law and order must bo preserved. They dislike Tinker tons because they are men recklessly gathered irom all sorts of places and of no respectable standlnc. Q. Are work people more re'peotfnl to United StatoH troops than those ot the State? A. Ko, I think not. People respect any Kind of lawful authority. The Object of Labor Organizations. Q. Are there not a few restless men in all larjre manufactories who cause trouble? A. Sometimes there are such men, but the labor organizations have a tendency to keep Just such men in order, to restrain their radi calism. Q. Is It from native or unnaturalized workmen that most trouble emanates? A. There Is a class of foieigners who don't un derstand English who feel like doing as if thev were In the foreign countries from which tbey come, and not in accordance with American principles. Ihese are the Sla a. Hungarians and Poles. I have always found Americans ready to be Just and to discuss matters fairly with employer", and to make concessions when needed, but many or the foreign-born workmen are not. Q. Do you think the detective agencies sending out of uniformed men is a necessity or a good thing? A. Xo, usually productive or bad results. Mr. Weihe then described the origin and growth, the objects and attainments of the Amalgamated Association, which he said had always thrown its influence against strikes, the first long or importaut strike in its history being that at Homestead. He gave in detail the wages usually earned in the iron and steel trade by skilled mechan ics. A lair average wage was 53 00 a day. Mr. Peffer betrayed great eagerness to com prehend the entire field in his questions. His last question was: Q. What is the best way or settling dis- Butes between employers and employed, Ir. Weihe? A. By both parties getting to gether and talking matters over. The con ference committee is the best peace engine I know. William T. Boberts Testifies. When Mr. Weihe had accepted his 52 witness fee, somewhat larger pay for an hour's talk than the average mechanic makes in the same time with muscle and brain, his place was taken by William X. Roberts, who had come in with the big chieftain of the Amalgamated a stout, brawny head, whose head hardly came up to .Mr. Weihe s chest. JUr. iinherts is a vice President ot the Amalgamated and one of the Homestead leaders, whose name prob ably is to be found on the little list which Mr. Prick says does not exist Mr. Roberts said he worked in the Car negie mills at Homestead till the men went out in June last, his wages averaged ?3 50 to 54 00 a dav as heater. He gave an account of the dispute about the scale which led to the lockout. About the mid dle ol February Superintendent Potter had said to him: "Billy, some of you heaters have drawn enormous wages, and the firm means to cut you down." Roberts replied that he did not see why men who had been averaging 51 a day should be cut down. Mr. Child;, who was present, said he didn't think any man in the mill got so poorly paid as that. That was the first warning of the intended cut in wages. Believes There Is a Blacklist. Examined by Senator Gallinger: Q. Are the Carnegie's rehiring their old men without reference to any list? A. I would not like to swear that there is a black list in the Carnegie office, but I am sure that theie is. Theynio discriuiinnting ugainst former employes who had influence among their fellows. Q. Were the men at Homestead ready to submit to lawful authority r A Yes: but there has beei. a grow ing feeling of unrest among workingmen all over the land, and when the Pinkertons, whom they know well, camo tbey were provoked beyond endui ance. Q. What do you mean by the restless feel ing? A. Hie workingmen aie beginning to think that their rights are being taken away when these large concerns deny their em ployes the right to orgauizi-, and this makes them discontented. -Men in the lower paid departments commence to think that they don't get their proper proportion of the profits. Q. May not the men make a mistake about the amount of the profits? A. Yes, I guess thev do sometimes. Q. Where a firm fails do the laboring men ever come to their employers' assi-tance? A. Tes. In the cae ol Oliver Bios, in this city: and other cases have occuried else where. The unrest is not with the unthink ing and ignorant, but with the more intelli gent mostly. All Men Very Much Alike. Q. Do the native or foreign workmen cause the most trouble? a. Well, I am not prepared to say. The foreign and native elements aro about equal in the Amalga mated. It isn't the common laborer ho makes trouble ever. You won't find English-speaking men among the common labor ers nowadays to any extent. Q. Have you any remedy for troubles be tw Vcn emplo era and employed? A. Yes. I believe in aibitration compulsory arbitra tion, binding employer and emp'oyed alike. They must both De compelled to abide by the arbitrator's decision. Working-men generally are beginning to see that arbitra tion ii some lorni Is the onl v remodv. Q. Do you think that the National Govern ment has the constitutional power to come into a State and settle labor disputes? A. Yes The Government ought to nrotect its people: it should find ont what manufactur er' pioflti are and tee to it-tliat the laborer gets nl ralr share. Q. Have you ever heard of workingmen breaking their agreements, and resisting the decision or aibltrators or their own choice A. No. sir. I knoir the Amalga mated ha- never done so. I know whut Is refened to, but the employers In the coke country wero responsible for what hap pened theie, not the American workmen. The Bight of Organized Labor. Q. Would you claim the light of organized labor to keep out men who came to take their places, in case of a strike, peaceably or forcibly? A. Not rorciblv; but they have the right to persuade. At Homestead the men thought the ictlnction In wages unjust, that their right to organize was threatened, that their little homes, some half paid for, were In danger, and when a nang o! cutthroats camo to take their Jobs they thought thev hadarightto go down to the liver's bank and resist They never intended to injnie the Carnegie Woiks. The Adviorj Boa id offered the Sheriff to supply doputies and under heavy bonds. Q. Did they not turn the Sheriff's deputies ont or Homestead? A. You must remember theie weie 700 or 800 foreigners and some others who spoke English, but none or whom properly understood what the depu ties nein there for, and I believe they did es cort them out of town. I realize that It was an unfoitunate occurrence. Examined by Senator Peffer. the witness said that the employment of Pinkertons was one of tb causes of workingmen's un rest He explained what the search lights in the Homestead mill yards were for. and related the remarks of mill bosses and su perintendents which led the men to believe the firm was looking for trouble with its employes. A National Board of Arbltratl on. Q. How would you suggest the board of arbitration should be constituted? A I think it should be appointed by the Na tional Government, and have the power to enforce its decisions upon all parties; upon groat manuiacturing concerns by taking away their charteislf they disobeyed. I pieter an arbitration board appointed by tho National Government to one appointed by the State, because the former would be less likely to be affected oy politics. Mr. Weihe was asked by Senator Gal linger to answer a few questions as to the restriction of immigration. Mr. Weihe said he thought the present contract labor law was being evaded systematically by the corporations and large employers to" the prejudice of workingmen here. Exactly how the evi.sion was compassed he did not know, but he knew that whenever there ww a strike agents in Jfew York and other seaboard citks were always ready to supply employers with foreign labor at lower wage rates than Americans would work for. He thought a more vigorous examination of immigrants desirable, but wanted to be un derstood as opposed only to the lower class of immigrants, those who were assisted to this country and had to be assisted after they got here. Q. Are the laboring meu discussing the immigration question? A. Yes. Q. Do you believe the party in power or Congress would have the support of work ing men It they restricted immigration? A. Yes. The Views or an Old Banker. Thomas Mellon, the banker, w as called. He said he as 80 years ot age and had resided in Pittsburg since 1S31 He gave a sketch of his life to the committee. Senator Gal linger a.'ked: Q. In disputes between workingmen and employers, can they be settled lu court! A J -I remember one case where anvjBMtction was granted to restrain employesTvlm boy cotting a firm. This was the case or Brace Bros. Q. Was the injunction granted? A Event ually, yes. Q. Tnen the course pursued by Brace Bros, conld bare been followed by the Car negie Company Instead of resorting to Pink ertons? A. I think it would have applied. It is hard to prove and hard to set an In junction. It is much harder to obtain than ir the way was more practical. There is generally a great delay. Q. Have you ever hail nny labor troubles in connection with your mining Interests? A Yes, we had at one time. The trouble generally originates betw een organized and non-union labor. The union labor is al ways aggressive and tries to force the non union to Join. Q in tiie old days did you ever hear any thing or Pinkertons in connection with labor troubles? A No; but there were always detectives and watchmen to guard property in case or strikes. Q. Do on think it necessary to employ armed men in connection with labor ditfei ences? A There is an urgent necessity for such. It arises from our doiectivo laws and Inefficient execution. If the laws woie clear, explicit and eniorced thei e would be no oc casion for armed men, but as the laws aro in this State I don't see how men cau con duct large enterprises without them. Too Much Party Politics. Q. Can you explain why In this enlight ened Stato of Pennsylvania and in this the close or the nineteenth centuiy tuch caie lesslansas these exist? A. In my opinion theie is too much patty politics for the good of the people Piefermeiit for offlco depends on scrvico to the party instead of fitness for the po-iiion. For instance, we seldom havo a Sheriff who can and will do his duty. There is also too much delay in ordering out the military, the Governor tearing ho might offend some one. Q. Do you mean to say that the Sheriff deiers doing his duty through fear of politi cal consequences? A. I do. j. iv ouiu tne name suggestion appiy to the Governoi? A Why, of course. The master norkman goes to Harrlsburg and says"Heie's so many thousand votes, and we want so and so," and they generally got it. Q. Then the same thing applies to the Legislature? A. Certainly it does. They spend too much time In looking alter polit ical ends instead ot looking after the peo ple's good. Our pi oent Governor I thought during ills first term was all right, but now I think otherwise. The growing evil of our time Is class legislation. Q. The attention or this committee as well as that or the whole country bus been called to tne neglect ot the Sheriff as to las failure to secuie a posse cotnmitutus? A. I think he could have secured one bad ho made an earnest effort. Q. Do yon think the Sheriff and Carnegie Company exhausted all their powers befoie securing an armed body or l'inkei tons? A. I think he did as ho regarded his powers,but It was only in a perfunctory way. Councilman Robertson's Strike Experience. A C. Robertson, Select Councilman from the Thirty-fifth ward, came next as a wit ness. He said he had been a glassblower for 20 years, after that u as elected to the Legislature and then quit working for a living. He is now practicing law. He helped to organize the Knights ot Labor in this county. By Senator Gallinger Were you ever en gaged in any strikes? A. Yes, I mannged several. We alw ays instructed our men not to go near tne works, i lien tne laws were more rigid as to conspiiacy than tiieyare now. The strikes weie all agulnst i educ tion of wages and we never experienced any trouble. Q. In those strikes did the question of ar bitration or conciliation ever arise? A. No; in those days they weie never thought of. Q. What is your position now as to volun taiy or compulsory aruitratiou? A. Volun tary arbitration is a dead letter, and as to compulsary aibitration I do not favor it, from my observations of its workings in England. The Pinkerton system, to my mind, is the outcome of tho abolition of the Coal and lion Police system ot this State. I want to say thut, having served three teims in tho Legislature, ir theie has been any class legislation in this State it has been in favor ot the corpoiate class and not of the laboring class. The Legislatuie in 1S91 passed an act allotting the Carnegie Com pany to tncreao its capital stock from $3,0U) 000 to $25,000,000. It was not for them in a ditect nay, hut they could come In under it. William Weihe was recalled by Senator Peffer, who asked: Q. What has been the general effect on labor and labor interests by strikes? A In some cases beneficial, in others not. It brings the question oilaboroefoiegreatmen andi gieat minds, and in ttmo the "working people may get legislation in their favor. John A. Potter, superintendent of the Homestead plant when the trouble began and now chief engineer ior the Carnegie Company, was sworn. The testimony he gave belore the Congressional Committee was identified by htm. Senator Gallinger asked him; Q. At what point did yon meet the Pinker tons? A At Ashtabula, O. Q. Why did you meet them there? A. Be cause I wus authorized to do so. Q. Did you take charge oi them? A No, sir. They were in charge of their own peo ple Until we arrived at Davis Island Dam, nil ere Colonel Giay took chaige. He was a representative oi the Sheriff. Q. Are you clear iu your mind that the employment of aimed men for private pur poses is right? A I have no opinion to ex press. Q Why? A I don't know why. Q. If yon could have foreseen the result would. ou have advised the employment of the Pinkerton. A No, sir. By Senator Pefler Do you regard tho in terests of the Cat neios greater than the in leiests of tho public? A. No, sir. The in teiests of the public come first. Q. Then why do j ou refuse to express an opinion on the hiring Oi armed men? A I don't waut to be quoted. Q. Have you. as a rule, found the people of Homestead peaceable? A. There am all classes there. 0. Is your declination to answer about the employment or armed men because you are a i raid to criminate yourself and others? A. No, sir, it is not It is because I do not feel competent to express an opinion. From a Worker's Standpoint David Lynch, a heater at the Homestead mill, was the next witness. He stated that he had worked in the Homestead mill for 11 years and was Chairman of the Police Board of the Homestead Councils. The re duction of wages affected him on the base of the scale. By Senator Gallinger Did the firm ever go Into an explanation as to why the reduc tion was necessary? A. Not that I ever heard or. Q. Havo you had any experience with the Pinkertons? A I helped escort them to the rink. Q. Were they tieated very harshly? A. I diun't consider it to. Our men who weie guarding them suffeied as much fiom the crowds as they did. Q. Do you consider that It was outsiders wuo did most of the mischiel? A. Yes, sir, agieat paitof it. Q What is tho general conduct of the working people? A IV o only had three ar rests in Hon. estead in six months pievious to the tiuuble. Q What's your opinion of the hiring of armed men? A. It's a very poor way ot set tling trouble ot this kind. Q. Aie you in favor of arbitration? A I am. The Amalgamated method Is a system ot arbltra ion. This was the last witness examined, and the committee adjourne i to meet in New York at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning.
