through. Cardinal sanctioned this step. No one attempted to stop witness men working. Witness firm is an associa- tion firm and joined the union for pro- tection from the Master Plumbers as sociation. He stopped work on this job voluntarily one week in order to help the carpenters in making it a union job. So far as he saw Sandi- ford used no threats nor urged toilette or Cardinal in any manner to give the job the stamp of the union. 1t was their voluntary action.
 Walter Unwin threw a somewhat different hue on the situation He said that Sandiford stated he could not allow union men to continue work ing if the non-union men were not let go. He also heard toilette say, T want to make this a union job."
 Charles Hardwick, partner of Gill, said that a few days before the meet ing in his shop Cardinal told him he was willing, and he appeared anxious to make it union job. According to witness there seemed to be no bother about unionizing the work.
 Patrick Ryan, a union carpenter at the time in question, gave little satis- faction to either side He said he ex-. 
 was surprised to see non-union men at work. He stayed around an hour or so until MT Cardinal arrived, and he was then put to work. He said he would not work with non-union men, yet he did not see the non-union men leave when he began work. Ryan is now employed in a grocery store on East Main street. He had been a car penter over twenty years and made the change to better himself.
 Philip Duphiny, q lather of twenty two years experience, was the next witness. He said he has always be- longed to the union of his trade Ga banna was a member of the union five or six months. Witness was treasurer at that time. Everything was going along smoothly until MT Kennedy asked him if Cabanna had collected money from his fellow unionists and did not turn it over to the treasurer. Instantly Attorney Bradstreet raised an objection, and the ground already covered was gone over again in the discussion of the question. It was ruled out and an exception allowed. Duphiny thereupon stepped down.
 Edward Barrett, contractor, paint CT and decorator, worked on the scene of the alleged trouble, without any in
  than being asked by Sandiford to help him out and witness declined.
 The accused next took the stand. His story of the alleged difficulty was as follows: He holds the office of business agent of the local Carpenters union and assisted MT Cardinal in l unionizing the building of a house lie was putting up. Cardinal told him distinctly he could not unionize the work when the matter was first preached to him. Witness said he was sorry. toilette then stepped up and said witness could blame him for this. Witness said he was not surprised at this, for he knew what kind of a man he was. toilette then abused him, calling names. Witness went away. Witness, Hardwick and toilette few days after went to the job and witness spoke to Cardinal who said he was ready to make the job a union one when witness could get the union men. He asked witness to call off the non- union men, but witness declined How ever, he spoke to Lawson and Unwin. non-union men, and they indicated they would enlist in the union. A few days still later the union men promised 1 by Sandiford not forthcoming. Car dinal asked him why they did not come, for he was now determined | anyway to make the job a union one. l Witness said he had not seen the men. 1 At this point court adjourned to 9:30 l this morning.
