testimony of union men given before
the United States Commission on In
6ustrial Relations today. S. H. Grace,
of Omaha, business agent of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
on the Union Pacific, testified that
when trouble arose on that road in
1902, Mr. Hartman telegraphed that
it was his first labor trouble and that
if he could avoid it it would be his
last.
Pres. J. w. Kline
j. w. Kline, general president of the
International Association Of black
smiths and helpers testified:
MIR. Hartman felt for the women
and children who would suffer by
strike and he made no concessions
which resulted in the settlement of
the troubles of 1902. 1 feel that had
he lived the disastrous strike of 1911
on the Hartman lines would not have
taken place.
Evidence at todays hearing dealt
with physical examination Of appli-
cants for mechanical positions on rail-
roads, with violent acts of the rail-
road strike begun in 1911, the meth
DDS of strike-breakers and sO-called
detectives, and other phases Of the
railroad labor situat ton.
The Spoilers"
John c. Taylor. of Oakland. Calf,
business agent of the Southern Pa
cific Railway machinists testified that
spoilers" engaged in disrupting I'M
ions generally worked in trios. He
designated them as follows:
1.-The promoter of quarrels who
gains membership in the budding I'M
ion and by his wiles sets Jew quar-
reling with Gentle. italian and Aus
trian. and so on, thus weakening the
strength of the membership.
2-The good fellow" who makes
friends with everybody and spends his
money so freely that those who try
to keep their end of the entertainment
presently find themselves financially
embarrassed, and thus open to sug.
gestions of treachery to the union.

"Cymric ardor on the battlefield is
going to be inspired and sustained by
Cymric music. Not the least impress
sive sight today, and during the past

at Porthcawl has been the gathering
Of the soldiers for choral singing
When the new Welsh army of 10000
men take the field it will go to battle
to the sound Of Cymric war chorus
which experts have described as the
finest martial music in the world.
The organization just formed is
known as the Welsh Army Male Voice
chorus, and as the recruits include
some of the finest singers in the
Welsh valleys, men who have com
peted in scores of Eisteddfods, the sol
