 Witness was asked cause for de- claring Wooten's business unfair; said he thought the reason was that Wooten belonged to the building ex- change and was working against car penters and painters. The builders exchange was advertising for scab carpenters and painters; the striking of carpenters and painters union was sanctioned by trades council The witness mentioned other businesses in the district which were declared unfair. At the time the witness went to demand a union card from Woot, en he was only man in Bisbee carry ing card in clerks union, which is, sued card.
 Short Court Recess
 After short court recess the cross examination of Brown continued
 Witness sad clerks were not on strike; they were extinct as union at that time; 1 don't know if the carpenters and painters had a right to call for Wooten's card which had been issued by the clerks union Wooten asked me for my credentials, l told him l did not have them with me. I left and never returned. The trades assembly ordered me to se- cure the card by law, but had done nothing when the deportation oc- cured; purpose of declaring Wooten i unfair was to prevent union mechan- ics from trading with him; I thought Wooten was a good man, former un- ion man and I thought he could be shown the error of his way; never talked to any man declared unfair but Wooten

Witness said he advised men to remain together because l believ. ed something would be done to re- ftrr ha fn felt that all had right to be return ed.
 Witness said that in addition to Bill Cleary two other lawyers, Fred Moore and Mir Struckmeyer, visited the camp, but that he had not talked to them.
