 Pinkertons In Unions.
 Asked as to the placing of Pinkerton operatives in unions, Friedman said a man named Crane became secretary of the Smeltermens union at Colorado City, and was also chairman of the strike com mittee. Other operatives who were con- nected with unions in Colorado were Joseph T. Gaddon, George W. Rydell. F. B. Bailey, Cummings Lutlow and William Conibear. Friedman declared he handled most of the daily reports from these men for year and half Rydell was in the court room as Friedman began his testi- mony. He was identified by the witness Ifxup of ha iply xxyitI1 the rest of the union men from Cripple Creek and Telluride.
 Do you know a Pinkerton named Lon doner?" asked Darrow
 Yes, sir
 Was he member of the union?"
 No. sir, Londoner was supposed to be a capitalist and trying to find out the secrets of MT. Heinz
 Montana Millionaire.
 The reference to the Montana mining millionaire, called out laughter.

 At this Gratius was instructed by Mir. Mcfarland to ma'e the relief bills as large as possible said the witness, in order to decrease the federaton's treas hry. This did not seem to work and Gratias was told to cut down the bills to the lowest notch so as to dssatisfy the mer on strike. The reports from the operatives in the various unions usually cover all that transpired at the union meetings, what the miners were doing in private, where they went in the evenings, etc. Friedman said that he had copies of d number of these reports. It was a part of his duty to copy these and mail them to the agencys clerks. a Friedman said the Pinkertons spied on the West ern Federation of Miners and the United Mine Workers. The witness had not brought the copies of the reports to court with him and was withdrawn until the afternoon session, making way for James Mooney. of Pennsylvania Jim Crow Farmer.
