A. No. They marched out orderly. You could not have told from the way they looked that anything was the matter. I expected to see them come out and run every way, and I was astonished. When they began coming out everybody ran from them, but when they saw them come out in good order, and keep in a good line, then they began to stand still again--the people did. * * * * * Samuel A. Muckle, _sworn with the uplifted hand_: By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Where do you reside? A. In the Twenty-third ward, Pittsburgh, at the present time. Q. Where were you residing in July last? A. In the Fourth ward, Allegheny city. Q. What business were you engaged in all that time? A. No business at all at that time. I was employed by the railroad before that. Q. What position did you hold on the railroad before that? A. Conductor. Q. Of what road? A. The Pan Handle. Q. Passenger or freight? A. Freight, at that time. Q. Was there any pre-arranged plan among the railroad men for a strike? A. None that I know of--if you speak of the strike that occurred in July. Q. Yes? A. None that I know of. Q. Was there any arrangement being made among the men for a strike to take place then or any other time? A. We had an organization here at that time, called the Trainmen's Union. Of course, if I have to answer all these questions, I am willing to answer them, if they do not conflict with this organization. Of course, I went into that organization, and I am under an obligation. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Oath bound? A. Yes. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. It is a secret organization? A. So far as our own business is concerned. Q. As far as you can, you will give us what information you have upon the causes of this riot, and whether it was pre-arranged among the men? A. The organization is not in existence to-day, but I still feel myself duty bound to the organization. I will answer this. There was a union called the Trainmen's Union--an organization--and there was a talk of a strike in June. It was to have taken place on the 27th day of June. That fell through, and with the strike in July, we had no business of that kind. Q. What induced the men to arrange for a strike on the 27th of June? A. This organization was gotten up for the benefit of the railroad men--for their own protection--for to protect them in anything that might be brought up. Q. What class of railroad men? A. The transportation department entirely. Q. Including conductors and brakemen? A. Yes; and engineers and firemen. Q. Did it include any passenger conductors and brakemen? A. Yes. Q. The whole? A. Yes; when I speak of transportation, I include the whole transportation department. Q. Was it the ten per cent. reduction made on the 1st of June that induced the men to arrange for that strike?
