Mr. Hedley, after referring to Stone as
Esr and cur, continued his statement as
fellows
Stone turned tail and ran in 1905. When
ts sst across the table that time from me,
Sith jerks, Of the brotherhood, and Yep,
tsr' Of the Amalgamated Association, ana
,oId me what he was going TO do, told
him where he got off. and the strike start
N In less than three days. when they
we're beaten TO a frazzle, he turned tail
ana ran, putting the Shole blame on jerks
snd Pepper. To save his face he TOOK
lyay the charter" of Division 100, so that
Il would appear that he expelled an oi
,he brotherhood men who went on strike.
Stone. he went on, really gave orders
hat the men who lost their Jobs through
striking against the Interborough be taken
hack into the union in adjoining locals.
When Stone said he would organize the
men faster than they could be fired, Mr..
Nedley said Stone was lying again.
Mr.. Hedley sympathiZed with the Man
haitian & Hudson Company for allowing
Stone 10 butt in The Interborough would
run Its business in the best interests Of
It's patrons, he said, and that could not
always be done with a union. He chal-
Hinged Stone TO order a strike, and said
that II a strike were ordered the patrons
Of the cars would not know any difference
The men would be still working.
