this. The witness declined to answer.
Mar. Laird objected to the question
which he stated violated the rules of
evidence. The committee was raising
the devil with the Industries OF the
country because it was following false
scents, collateral to the main issue.
If the committee went into secret
session, eluded the press and opened
up the blast and let out the filth, he
would submit to it, but it was not in
the decent order of procedure that
1T should be done now. The con-
sequence of the violations of the rules
by the committee fell upon the men
who could i'll endure them. It was by
departure from the rules Of evidence
that committee found the whole
world of industry protesting against
its proceedings.
Funston contended that his cues
ton was based upon the direct ex-
animation. The witness had stated
that unwashed CUTS went into lard
and that he had seen it. He (Funstonl
had then asked witness where he had
seen it, and he left it to any lawyer
whether that was not proper queS-
ton. How much more slush did that
man open up the other day when he
made charges which he (Funstoh)
would not believe under oath.

The chairman said that he would not
sustain the objection made by MIR.
Laird in the grounds stated by that
gentleman. The question was directly
in order, but Mr.. Dreier came before
the committee through his courtesy
and was not placed on oath. He was
asked to give the committee
DIS to the subject matter of the invests
CATION, but the gentleman had a right
ia decline to answer the question if he
saw proper.
Mr.. Morgan hoped that the witness
would not answer the question, and he
hoped that hereafter no witness would
be permitted to answer these personal
questions.
Mr.. Funston again put his question
and the witness again declired to
answer.
He had made no general charge, he
said, "a ainst the pa kers. and he did
not think that any packer would SO
cons der it.
Mr.. Funston pressed his question
and was again met with an objection
from Mr.. Laird, who wished the
chairman to rule upon the matter. He
did not want to surrender his right to

consequence of allowing witnesses to
take the bit in their teeth. He desired
the chairman to decide the question.
Pending the decision the committee
adjourned.
