John Bannon's Testimony
Before the Federal Court

Q.-Was there anything else said
there that you recall at that time?
Al put the question-well, no, a
motion was then made calling for the
previous question The previous ques
tion was called for told them it was
not debatable and that it was now
brought to a vote as to whether the
debate should cease. l put the vote
and it carried. l then put the ques-
ton as to whether or not they were
willing to accept or reject Mr.. Hitch
cocks letter of the 18th. 1t carried
almost unanimously with the excep-
ton Of two or three who got up and
continued after the vote had carried
to use insulting remarks. The meet
ing was adjourned. We proceeded to
Mr.. Hitchcock's office to inform him
Of the action taken. We prepared
kilograms to send out to different
parts of the road advising the men
that the strike had been declared off.
After my meeting with Mr.. Hitch
cock, and kilograms were sent over
the system to various points advising
the strikers that the strike had been
declared off, l met General Chairman
Crayne of the B. of L. E., and he in
formed ME that he intended to keep
watch on all Of the engines and keep
a check on them, and see whether or
not they were safe to handle and SO
forth | said, Don't you realize that
Mr., Wells advised Grand Chief Stone
that any engineer finding an engine
unsafe to handle that it would be his
right and privilege to refuse to go out
on that engine?" He asked me where
was l going after l left Needles? l
said, 81 am going to Los Angeles to
make thorough investigation of this
entire matter" WELL" he said, "for
Christ's sake, when you get off over
there tell that scab grand lodge Of
ficer of ours" meaning Mr.. Bisset,
that he is stopping in a scab hotel"
meaning the Rosslyn, land to get out
of there I told him if he wanted to
deliver a message like that he could
deliver it himself.
Q-Did you have any further talk
with any of the strikers, or their rep
resentatives, before you left Needles? :?
Al had a talk with the various
men who were finally closing up the
entire matter with Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr..
Hitchcock asked me in his office how
long they would have to put up with
these runaway strikes. l told him
what the position of our brotherhood
was and what we intended to do.
Q.-What did you say?
Al told him l intended
Mr. Rush, object to the conver-
sation between this witness and
Hitchcock on the ground that it is
heresay and also on the ground that
it took place after the consummation
and termination of the alleged con-
spiracy.
Att wasn't officially declared off
yet by the officials.
Mr.. Rush, don't know what the
witness said I couldn't hear.
The Court-He said it wasn't offic-
tally declared off yet by the officials.
Mr. Rush.-It never was declared
on by officials either, he said.
The Court suppose he meant by
that the officials of the road. Did
you?
A-Yes, your Honor.
The Court don't see what ma
teriality that conversation would have
Were any of these defendants pres
ent?
Ayes, sir, your Honor, they were
all present, that is, those who accom-
panied me to the office to make the
final arrangements to declare it off at

Senate Resolution No. 2, introduced
by Senator Rutherford of Yavapai
County, passed the state senate on
Tuesday. The resolution provides for
a sweeping investigation of the banks
and banking conditions of the state,
in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the Governors message. The
resolution does not require the ap-
proval of the House to become eff
feCtive. 1t is understood that the
committee empowered by the senate
to carry on their Investigations will
begin their duties at once. The per-
sonell of the committee appointed by
President Winsor would indicate that
the investigation will be carried
through competently, impartially and
Rutherford, Roberts, Moore, Elliott
and Claypool compose the committee.
The resolution gives the committee
wide powers in carrying on their in
vestigations.
The work of the special committee
Of the senate intrusted with the state
wide investigation of banks, banking
methods and conditions, promises to
develop angles of interest as great as
that of the legislature itself, and its
work will be watched with keen in
terest all over the state.

On Tuesday morning when the mes

to the importance of the communica-

DEMANDFORSTEEL
IS FAIRLY ACTIVE
Copper Sales Fall 0ff-Tin
Turns Weak-StatuS of
Other Metals.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 23.-The steel
market displayed a steady undertone
and conditions in the trade were con-
sidered adverse to any serious re-
duction in values. While less urgent
than d short time ago. new buying
was still fairly active, with orders
being placed for third quarter de-
livery. Production was less active
owing to the heat and it was also
said that a number of producers
would close down within short
time for much-needed repairs. Pig
iron continues quiet. with an easier
unqertone.
Copper was easier. Following the
recent squirt of buying for export and
domestic account, demand has again
fallen off. While no selling pressure
of consequence developed, the London
market was lower and price shading
occurred in the local market. No in
crease was noted fr the demand for
rolled or drawn products and 1t was
considered probable that users of
raw copper were awaiting a revival
In that quarter, or more settled con-
ditions in securities and commodity
markets before buying much in ad-
vance of their current requirements.
Tin showed weakness in sympathy
with the big wall street failure of a
house, and indif-
ference among consumers. Supplies
of SO per cent tin on spot, however,
were scarce.
Lead easier and a cent lower.
Little buying interest was shown but
absorption on contracts continues
heavy and producers regarded the
general situation as healthy.
Zinc was easier also, due to liberal
supplies, although it was said re-
torts are being closed because of
labor shortage.
Antimony continued it's upward
trend owing to more interest in
future shipments from China. Spot
demand, however, remained light.

FURTHER ADVANCES
IN COTTON MARKET
Saturday Trading Carries New
Crop Months to Higher
Ground.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 23.-The cotton
market showed further advances to-
day which evidently resulted from
increasing apprehensions of a low
end-June crop indication. Another
one of the private end-month reports
was issued placing the condition at
69.7, the increase in acreage at 7.21.
and the indicated yield at 10.850,000
bales.
This made the fourth of these re-
ports. all of which have pointed to a
crop of less than IL 10000 bales, and
their unanimity in this respect ap-
peared to be making a good deal of
,bullish sentiment around the ring.
Buying was probably restricted by
the usual week end considerations
and there was considerable realizing
but 1t was very we'll absorbed until
July touched the 2S-cent level
Offerings then became slightly
heavier and there were reactions
with July closing at 27.76. The gen
eral market closed irregular at net
advances of 10 to 25 points
New crop months made new high
ground for the present movement
with October advancing to $3.50, or
the highest price touched since the
break TO 22.17 for that position early
last month. Realizing became more
active around these figures and ac-
counted for the closing reactions.

The radio operators personal "sine"
consists of a single letter or COM
bination of two letters. Different
radio operators frequently have iden-
tical "sines," but no two operators
on the same ship or shore station can
employ the same letter or combina-
tion of letters. An individual oper-
ator can therefore always be recog-
nized by the personal sine" he en-
ploys in conjunction with the call
letters" of the ship or shore station
from which nc is transmitting or at
which he is receiving. The call
letters" of both the sending and re-
ceiving stations and the personal
"sines" of the sending and receiving
operators always appear on all mes
sages handled by radio. There is
nothing to prevent an operator from
broadcasting remarks without using
the call letters of his station or his
personal sine If he wishes to violate
the radio laws. however.

BY PAUL GRIGGs.

One of the most interesting of the
professions. or trades, for the self
reliant young man of today is that of
radio-telegraph operator.
Unlimited space is the radio opera
tors field of operations. Ships which
ply the navigable waters of the globe
are his principal bases of operations,
and the universal language of the
dots and dashes'' of the international
radio code is his medium of opera
tions.
1t is a profession in which courage.
endurance and skill are required. ants
1t affords almost unlimited opportu-
mites for travel to the remote parts
of the world, all of which strongly
appeal to the normal young man.
Physical courage on the part of
the radio operator Is often required
in line with his ordinary duties. but
1t is especially required when dis
asters occur at sea. Mental. and
even physical. endurance is likewise
necessary to cope with the exasper-
ating interferences encountered. not
only from static during the heavy
static season. but also almost con-
stantly in all parts of the world from
the hundreds of interfering ship and
shore stations working OH the same
or nearly the same wave lengths or
frequencies
Professional skill in the handling
OF the dot-and-dash code of radio
for sending and receiving messages
is a prime requisite for successful
operator and also for his peace of
mind.
The average operator strives con-
tinuously to improve himself profess
sionally-to become a more expert
operator. He desires. in the nomen-
clature of radio. to send good stuff
and to send it fast" He feels that
all the world of radio within the
range of his station is listening in on
his signals, and he knows that while
he will not be condemned by the ra-
dio fraternity for failing to send
fast" he will surely be regarded as
ham if his sending is defective
or hard to read.
His professional reputation will
likewise suffer if he cannot receive
fast stuff" as sent to him by other
stations, or If he cannot receive
through moderate interference. and
must therefore ask to have messages
or parts of messages repeated one or
more times. In this event he may
hear some uncomplimentary remarks
about his professional qualificatio
sent broadcast from anonymous sta
tions within range, notwith standing
the fact that the practice of sending
unauthorized and superfuous signals
by radio is prohibited by the radio
laws of all countries.
Every radio operator employs a
distinctive radio sine" by which he
is known to the radio fraternity. in
much the same manner that diStinc-
tive call letters" are assigned to
every radio transmitting or broad

President to Use Radio.

President Harding on his trip to
Alaska will be almost entirely de-
pendent on radio to keep him in touch
with affairs in Washington.
The President heretofore just ra-
tiio fan like most of his fellow citi-
zens. will have an opportunity to see
its great practical use demonstrated.
BY radio the President will learn
of political developments following
the series of speeches he will make
through the west on his way to
Alaska. On account of the prominence
of several issues he will develop, 1t
will be most important that he keep
constantly in touch with the reaction
to the International Court of Justice
speeches, as well as those on the rail-
road consolidation plan and his ship
ping program.
After the President and his party
get to Alaska there will be only a
thin spread of copper cable between
him and the United States, as far as
wire communication is concerned. 1t
stretches 1000 miles from Cordova to
Sitka and thence to Seattle. During
cable breaks, which sometimes last
less.
But cable breaks are not so disas-
trous as formerly. for radio can take
up their burden, as it frequently has
in the last few years.
When the President gets to Alaska
he also will find that the land wire
systems are very inadequate on ac-
count of the contour of the country.
On the other hand, conditions are ex-
ceptionally favorable to radio trans
mission. In the summer static sea-
son" atmospheric or other disturb
ances are much less severe in Alaska
than in the United States. During
other seasons of the year static is
rarely. experienced. Radio waves do
not lose their effectiveness in Alaska
as in this country.
Alaska and it's coasts are we'll sup
piled with radio stations, so that the
President will always be in touch
with the United States as well as
with parts of Alaska, with which he
wishes to communicate. There also
are ntne radio stations maintained
by the Navy along the coasts of the
Gulf of Alaska and in the Behrins
sea- They are in touch with radio
stations along the Pacific coast In
Washington, oregon and California,
and thus with the entire United
States.

Special signals will be transmitted

a good chance OF using some of the

which radiation is less effective have
