detailing the grievances which led up to the
strike, etc, gong over the ground substantial
~ as covered by the Knights of Labor witnesses
at the hearing in Philadelphia. the only new
point of interest brought out was the effect
that the Reading company had agreed not TO do
anything to prejuGice the interests of the men
in the Lehigh region who were striking for an
advance of wages. The witness had traced ship
in such unusual way that he became convinced
that it intended to be supplied to
the customers OF the Lehigh operators, in order
to enable them to stand out against the strikers.
The coal which the men refused to load on Eek
ley Bros barges was he believed, intended for
the Lehich operators. In this and other ways
the Reading company had forced the men to
strike and had broken faith with them.
