, e~estigation Of the labor troubles by the Con-
gressional subcommittee here Saturday

and grains testified that his firm did a bUsi-
ness amounting to from 81, GOO, GOO 10

because of the labor troubles Their credits
were almost entirely cut off. 1t sustained a
loss in its business of from thirty to forty
per cent Witness was not opposed to or
ganizatlon of labor.
S. l.. Finley. upholSterer of the Gulf,
Colorado Il Santa Fe railroad, testified tat
he formerly occupied two official positions
with the Knights of Labor. He said it was
the intention of the Knights to strike on all
the Texas roads, but better judgment pna-
vailed. lie was opposed to strikes,

form OF the mandate which was issued by
the Knights 10 the freight clerks IN the
Texas Pacific railroad Office at Fort Worth,
ordering them to strike
W. 7. Burk, editor of the Labor 4drO-
rate and county treasurer, testified to the
fact of the demoralizIng effect of the strike
on the Gould system. He said that the con-
dtion of the laboring men in the South was
better than that of the northern working
men, There was not such a surplus of labor
in the South. The absence of employ.
ment for labor in the South during
several months of the year was the most
serious drawback, He believed the 0nly
remedy was the introduction Of manufact-
urerS in Texas, He attributed much of the
trouble to the want Of confidence between
employers and the men and thought thar
wOrkmen were not Outsp0ken enough about
their grievances. In reply to the question
as to who was benefited by the seizure of
the engines and the destruction Of property
by the strikers, witness said that he thought
about the only person benefited was the
sheriff. The committee left for Marshall
last evening.
HUNTING FoR ANARCHISTS IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, May lO.-The vigilance OF the
police in looking after suspected Anarchists
has not relaxed a particle since the occur
rene eOf the outrage that first induced it. The
yari0u stations contain the usual extra de.
tail lnaugurated a week ago and a strict
watch is kept along the streets on suspicious
parties. The anticipation of incendiary fires
has caused citizens and property-owners to
be dOubly on the lookout so that, no matter
from what quarter trouble may spring,
preparation will have been made for it.
