trying to induce the union men to take
off their union buttons and leave the

CONC|LATOR DESCRIBES
EFFORT TO AVERT STRIKE
Denied Appeal to Directors Of Line,
He Testifes; Statement Shows
Drop in Receipts.

In a brief session, this morning, Of the
Senate committee to investigate the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany strike, these main facts were
brought out:
That President King of the company
had refused to permit Conciliator Black
man of the Department Of Labor to dis
cuss the strike with the board OF directors
of the company. because everything was
going along nicely and his plans might
be upset.
That the passenger receipts OF the com
pany from March IL to April IL, 1917.
were $T7,6S3.S3. compared with S2ll .o4S.25
for the corresponding period IN 1915.
That one reason why the men insisted
upon striking was their understanding
that not only would they be refused IN
crease of pay unless they signed the
company's individual contracts, but would
be refused employment also.
That the conciliator had not verified
from Mr.. King the mems claim that they
were being discharged for not signing,
but understood such to be his position
because he had stated they would not otn-
erwise be allowed increased pay.
Mr.. Blackman's Testimony.
Mr.. Blackman, one of the board of con-
ciliation of the Department of Labor, first
told the committee of the efforts of the
department in the strike OF 1916. Whlch
had been adjusted with the assistance OF
secretary wilson. &-OIllUS " lHe icNSiie
strike, he said that just before inaugura-
ton Commissioner Newman told him
there was liable to be trouble with the
street railway employees during the inau-
guration; that the railway company was
importing strikebreakers, and he was
afraid grave situation might arise dur
ing inauguration.
Mr.. Blackman went on to say that he
then called upon George E. Hamilton,
who assured him that his company was
not doing any such thing. The strik-
ers' committee, however. told him that
men were being brought in. He then
saw Mr.. McMorrow of the Amalgamated
and urged that there should be no
trouble during inauguration. AS re-
suit of these conferences he assured
Commissioner Newman of his belief
that there would be no trouble during
the inauguration.
About the 7th or Sth of March he had
another conference with the Commits
sioners and March 3 saw Mr.. King, as
he still apprehended trouble. He went
over the situation and asked him If
they could not work out a settlement as
was done in 1916. Mr.. King was very
emphatic in his stand that he did not
want to deal with the Amalgamated; l;
that is to say. "the men in group, rep
resenting the Amalgamated." Mr.. King
also refused to deal with a new COM
mittee of employees If one was appointed.

Denied Appeal to Board.

Four or five days after the strike was
on Mr.. Blackman asked Mr.. King to
allow him to go before a meeting of
the board of directors of the road and
make a statement. but Mr.. King de-
clined, saying that everything was
going along nicely and such a confer
ence might upset his plans.
A statement of the passenger receipts
Of the company for the periods from
March IL to April IL in 1915 and 1917,
respectively, was put in evidence, over
the objection of Attorney Hoover for
the company. In 1916 the amount was
s241.04s.25. and In 1917 it was
$77, 1858.
The figures were in detail showing
the receipts each day compared with
the same date of the previous year.
The receipts on the first day of the
strike were S1,294, compared with S5.-
625 for that day of the previous year.
The receipts in the succeeding five days
ran from $500 to $500 day, compared
with $1,000 and $4,000 on similar days
in 1916. The greatest discrepancy was
shown on the thirteenth day of the
strike. when little more than $1,000
was turned in. against $4,000 on the
same day in 1916. AS late as April IL
the receipts were about $3.700 less than
on the same day in 1916.

Conciliators Had No Plan.

Mr. Blackman said that the depart
mental conciliators had no prediction
for any particular plan of settlement;
the departments only objective waste
bring a settlement, keep the men at
work and have the public served. 1t
could not be charged that the concilia-
tors represented either the employers or
the employees in a partisan way.
He said that in the conference of
March 10 he proposed to Mr.. King that
they go out on the street, stop the
first five or six cars that came along,
whether manned by union .or non
union men, and confer with those men,
but Mr.. King refused. Mr.. Blackman
said he was aware of the presence of
strikebreakers in town at that time.
Sunday, March II, he was in confer
ence with the Commissioners and at
midnight called in Secretary Wilson,
who appealed to Mr.. King to permit
the men to continue at work without
signing the personal contracts. with a
view to seeing if an agreement could
be worked out, but Mr.. King would
not yield. About 1890 Monday morning.
Mr.. Blackman said, he made a final
appeal to the men not to strike. to
which they replied that many men had
already been discharged from the
shops and many motormen and con-
ductors notified not to come to work
Monday unless they would sign the
individual contracts, SO the strike was
