Investigating the Strike.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
special committee of the House to IN
yestigate the Reading strikes got to
work this morning john L. Lee, OF
Philadelphia, a sympathiZer with the
railroad str kers, was the first witness.
Lee said he did not consider that there
was any strike Oh the Reading load; 1t
was a lockout. Five crews, he said, re-
fused to move cars at Port Richmond
and genera! Superintendent SWeigart
discharged them without giving them
hearing. There was an agreement that
no men should be discharged except
after fair hearing. When the superln-
tendent reused to reinstate the men,
pending a hearing, general gong OUT
followed. subsequently meeting was
held in Pottsvllle and II was resolved TO
effect a settlement. Witness and others
went to Philadelphia and called upon
Superintendent Sweigart and made ar
rangements to declare the strike OH
There was no written agreement.
Sweigart was asked to put the agree
ment into writing, but be refused, and
wan'ed to know if they questioned his
yeracity. The next day Sweigart failed
to live up TO his agreement, and
discharged representative men, all
along the line. The men went out, as
there was nothing else to do. Referring
to the trouble at ElIZsbethport, n. j.,
witness said it was due to the refusal
of the men To load boat with coal Tor
Coke. in whose mines there was a
strike. and the men believed the Read
ing Company was Trying to aid Coke IN
his fight against the strikers. 1t was
held by the strikers that the Reading
Company were helping the Lehlgh Coal
Company in a standout against the en-
pIoyees. Corbin WAS asked to bring
about a seJtlemrn, between the COM
pany and the men. COrbin, together
with Mcleod, of the railroad and coal
company, suggested as remedy plan
by which the coal market would be
bulied and the wages of the strikers be
made to go up with the price OF coal.
This the strikers lefused to accept. Cor
bin did not want to be known ID
the matter. Before the interview
with Corbin, witnesses had endeavored
to get work in the Reading shops as a
mechanic, but wac told that he could
not go 10 work; that he was doing more
for the Reading Railroad Company IN
assisting the strikers than twenty-five
machinists would be worth 10 the conf
pany. This strike is benefit TO The
Reading Railroad Conrany, but We
don't want the public to know II.
