THE STRIKE INVESTIGATIONS
Mcssrs. Howard and Sovereign Before
the National Commission.

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-The strike commits.
sioners appointed by President Cleveland
to investigate the Pullman and railroad
strike began work yesterday. The sessions
were held In the government building In
court room and attracted many specta-
tors. Vice President s. w. Howard OF
the American Railway union, was called
as the first witness.
"Tell us what, in your opinion, caused
the railroad Strikes" said Commissioner
Herman.
"The strikes were caused" answered
Mr.. Howard, "by the statement of the
general managers that they would back
up Mr.. Pullman during the strike"
who told you that ~
"The newspapers printed the statement,
crediting to General Managers Egan and
st. Johns"
Mr.. Howard then entered into an ex-
haustive recital of the troubles leading up
to the Pullman strike. 1.-The General
Managers association" he said, refused
to haul mail cars unless the Pullmans
were attached to the trains. Such action
was entirely uncalled for. The Pullmans
were in no wise necessary for the trans
mission OF the United States mails. l can
cite various cases when mail trains were
run without Pullman coaches or other
palace car equipment"
WAS the action of your union in the
strike" asked Commissioner Wright,
merely for the protection of the interests
of the Pullman employees"
mo, not entirely, said Howard. "The
general managers had organized against
US, and we had to protect ourselves :"
Were you aware" asked Judge Worth
ington, that the railroads had contracts
with the Pullman company"
I'VE We're, and we We're also aware that
those contracts were n violation of the in
terstate law. They allowed the carrying
of none but Pullman sleepers and were a
direct discrimination against the Wag-
ncr cars"
Mr.. Howard told the commissioners that
he had received communication from
the state committee OIL safety telling of a
conversation between two rioters which
had been overheard. The conversation
was dispute over money which the men
claimed to have received from General
Manager Egan for overturning and burn
ing railroad cars during the strike. He
reluctantly admitted that the fact that
lawless men frequently seize the oppor-
tunity TO riot during labor troubles is an
argument against strikers.
Mr.. Howard was followed by General
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
Knights of Labor, who described the
A. II. u and the X. of L. as 1.-TWO divis-
ions of one army

HYATTsvILLE, Md, Aug. l6. - General
Coxey came nearly being mobbed at
Camp Lost Liberty. He came for the
purpose of taking away seven Of his
horses, and when he was questioned
about the movement by one of his men
became angry and said he was done with
the scheme. This greatly incensed the
five men left by the Baltimore police to
take care of the camp property, and
Coxey was obliged to beat hasty retreat
on one of the horses. The other horses
were driven around back road, and in
this way he got possession of the property.
