WHAT AFFORD SAID.
Brown said he met Afford on the street
after the indictment had been returned and
he then stouty denied signing any notes

was, Il swore before the grand jury that
1 didn't sign any notes and by God I'm
going to stick by the statement"
Brown admitted that his two companies
were greatly indebted TO the bank. but
gave figures to show that every cent of in
debtedneSs was covered by Liabilities. He
said that in making the Indebtedness he did
not know the bank was loaning great sums
of money TO the Elkhart Paper Company
and other insolvent concerns, or that II was
in sl1aky condition. He said he could
never ascertain the exact status of his own
account, as Brodrick Collins would not
give him his pass-book. although he tried
repeatedly to get 1t.
"Were you ever able to get that pass
book?" Ketcham asked.
Il was not" Brown responded.
Brown went into an explanation of all
the false and illegal notes with which he
is alleged to have been connected and gave
detailed figures as 20 the worth of his con-
Germs and their business. Showing that they
were making money at the time of the
bank failure.
why did your debts increase IL YOU
were making money! Ketcham asked.
Our business was expanding rapidly and
our line of machinery embarrassing
and had lot of money locked up IN the
Consolidated and the White Line Paper
Company"
How much money did you have tied up
in these companies"
About $4,000.

charges. He swore that when he made his
Indebtedness TO the bank he believed his
companies were solvent and was not aware
that Brodrick was Intentionally and know
ingly defrauding the concern and abstract
ing notes of the bank
Contrary to expectations, Brown in HIS
testimony unloaded the greater part OF the
blame for the crooked transactions upon
the shoulders OF ]. l.. Brodrick president
of the bank. who pleaded guilty several
weeks ago. II had been reported that tho
defense would hold Collins the respon-
sible man.
After his long siege of testifying Brown
stepped from the stand seemingly in good
condition. To all outward appearances he
was not under any strain and the long dav
upon the stand left no signs OF exhaustion

MIR. MITCHELL on STRIKES.

Mr.. John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers, was in Louisville
yesterday trying to settle a dispute be-
tween the miners and operators of western
Kentucky and avert strike While there
he addressed an audience in the Council
chamber, which included many union men
in other lines than mining, and business
men who were curious to hear the noted
labor leader speak. In beginning Mr.
Mitchell said he was always glad to talk to
men who were honestly trying to bring
about an adjustment of differences between
capital and labor. He said he believed in
the organization of capital as well as labor,
and that the interests of both sides were
promoted by the organization of both. Con-
tinuing, he said:
1t has always been my experience that i'm
every strike both sides get licked / be-
lieve in the right to strike and I also be-
heve In the right of the employer to lock
out his men. There may come time when
the workman can maintain his standing
and self-respect only by striking and so
a time may come when the same conditions
require the employers to lock out the
men, / think, though, that a strike is the
last weapon which should be used and that
II should be used then only after all efforts
lOi pcdcelui Settlement nave Jailed.
heartily favor strike where necessary but
l think nothing should be left undone
that could avoid the strike.
1T has always been my experience that
in every strike both sides get licked is a
significant statement to come from one Of
the foremost labor leaders of the time 1t
was an original and unique way of saying
t. 1T in his opinion neither side in a labor
controversy gained as much by a strike
as they could have done by Cancellation
and compromise Strikes usually end in
compromises in which both sides make con-
cessions which, if made at the beginning
would probably have prevented the strike
and all its losses. Mr.. MitcheIrs expert
ence has taught him that these are very
great, and because they fall on both sides
alike he says that in every strike both
sides get licked
War has been called the last argument
Of Kings. A strike is war. The world is
coming to believe that war, with its tre-
mendous destruction of life and property
and the concomitants that make 1t hell. is
unnecessary and could be prevented by ar
bitration. If war, why not strikes, in
which. as Mr. Mitchell says both sides get
licked?
