Omaha, Dec. 15.-Albert Young, now
appearing as the states witness in the
trial of Cornelius P. Shea, president
of the international union of teamsters,
came to Omaha during the teamsters
strike here in October 1905, and made
proposition to do the very thing
which he now charges Shea with doing.
This at least is the positive asser..
ton of Ben Keegan, president Of
Omaha transfers union. Young at
that time was national organizer.
"He called on me- said Keegan to-
day, "and told me he had gang of
twenty men in Chicago; he wanted my
confidence and wanted me to point out
the leaders of the non-unionists. His
plan was to lay out as many as pos
sible of the non-unionists and he fig
ured on securing recruits in large nun
bers and figured on making good
showing for himself as an organizer.
He told me that sluggers could drop
into Omaha, do the work and get away
without danger Of Identification.
He told me that Shea favored moral
persuasion, while he thought the hos
pital was as good for gathering re-
cruits. I brought my foot down right
there and told Young that if he at
tempted any such tactics in Omaha I
would turn him over to the police.''

The battles in the street by the wit

oers IN nearly every serious encounter.
The Forbes barns were surrounded for
months, he added, by crowds thru
which only large squad of policemen
could force way for the teams.
Even under the bluecoats' guard it
was necessary for the drivers to dodge
shots fired from a distance, and acid
filled eggs, aimed quite as frequently
at the non-union men as at the horses.
He declared it common occurrence
for the men under him to be dragged
into the barn unconscious and badly
injured, tho none of the Forbes team
