Burke Tells H01u He
Fooled Sen. ThOn,DsO1

Mr.. Cheney then wanted to know
what Burke's interest was in the
Thompson committees Investigation
into the traction situation in New York
City, Burke answered.:
My interest was to use Thompson
to put this thing squarely before the
public. never telephoned Thompson
in my life. Two Of the essential things
in American life is never to try to
get square and always leave them
laughing when you say good-by. The
man who telephoned Thompson Is
dead. His name was John Cade. He
had an object in telephoning to Thomp-
SON."
Q-He wanted to get somebody?
Ale had lost 100000. Public Ser
vice Commissioner Wood was trying to
sell something. Cade got on to him
and he sold 1t and got caught at it.
Q.-And Cadc wanted to get Wood?
A.@And Cade wanted to get Wood

blame somebody when he talked his

to me-"
This last statement of Burke's con-
vulsed his hearers. The witness then
laughingly told n story Of how he had
sought to interest Senator Burlingamc.
the chairman of the committee, and
other members present in some legis-
lation in which brother Of his was
Interested. Next he told of going to
Senator Thompson in 1916, when it had
been reported in the newspapers that
Thompson was about to call as wit
nesses several members of the Brady
family
"But none was called" boasted
Burke.
Asked Thompson's Aid
He said that Mr.. Thomas, treasurer
Of the Consolidated Gas Company; Mr..
Quackenbush, Of the Inte thorough:
Mr.. Russell, Of the New York Telephone
Company, and himself had asked
Thompson to alter the Thompson
committees report to their liking in
1916
"Who were you representing when
you were having all these interviews
with Senator Thompson?" asked Mr..
Cheney.

II am not willing to and will not deal
with or meet committees selected not
by the body of the employees, but only
by such as are members of the Amalga
mated. In this question the great BODY
of our employees is not concerned. They
nave appointed no committees, pre-
sented no demands and have not. in
fact, participated in them. The min
orlty, which does not represent even
one-half of the employees, is attempting
to create differences with the manage,
ment of the system and to force the
management to deal with this outside
organization.
''ln your letter you refer to an amic-
able settlement of the differences be-
tween the employees and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. There is no difficulty of
which | have any knowledge, excepting
such as arises out of the attempt by
the Amalgamated Association to secure
recognition.
The propriety of the position of the
in refusing to permit
itself to be forced to do this is too
clear to require elaboration.
ut would be a most wanton and in
eXcusable thing if this organization
under the circumstances should at
tempt to compel the yielding to its
demands for recognition by means of
a strike.

Thompson said, after consulting a
small notebook which he carried in his
vest pocket, that Burke finally met him
on February 8 at the Grand Central
station as he stepped from an Albany
train. He said that Burke asked him
to go down town, to see q lawyer.
at which meeting traction legis-
lation was discussed Burke, he
said, told the lawyer that Thomp-
son believed the New York. CITY
traction situation should be investi
gated, and that nothing could be ac
complished in the way of remedial
legislation until the public had been
informed of the facts and enabled TO
judge Of the justice of the demand of
the street railroads for an increased
fare. He said the lawyer replied that
he thought the companies could mako
out good case and that he would mt

lnterborough.
Thompson was reluctant to give the
lawyers name, saying that nothing i'm
proper had transpired, but on renuss+
