Association, were the only witnesses
examined yesterday during the trial

the plaintiff in that it showed the ex-
istence of considerable feeling against
McCarty at the time of his trouble
with his men and his fellow employ
ers.
Madigan testified that while he was
getting his rigs ready for funeral he
was approached by the business agents
Of the Stablemen's and Hackmen's
unions and told that he must with
draw his patronage from McCarty or
the funeral would be stopped and his
employees called out. He said he de-
INJURED to the request on the ground
that McCarty's family would be in
jured and was then told that the fam
lily of the horseshoer was not to be
considered.

that during all the time that McCar-
tvs men were out the association paid
them 81 a day.
