Ill l; I'.KK: ( AHA. SA'JVI.'PAY. MAY l!M. CREIGHTON TELLS OF ALTOOM STRIKE Femuylvania General Superintend ent Disputet Statements Made by Mayor S. H. Hoyer. SATS MOBS FILLED THE STREETS WASHINGTON, May 7. The Fed eral Industrial Relations commission today continued Its examination of witnesses as to labor conditions on the Pennsylvania railroad, when G. W. Creihton, general superintendent of that road at Altoona, Pa., resumed the stand. lie testified In answer to statements made before the commis sion yesterday by Samuel H. Hoyer, former mayor of Altoona, in connec tion with the strike In the Tennsyl ranla shops there In 1911. Replying to the testimony Riven by Hoyer, Mr. Crclghton disputed other tes timony that the Brotherhood of Knllroil Trainmen urged organization of the, Al toona shopmen. "Throughout the trouble." said Mr.' Crelghton, "It was absolutely necessary that we know In advance what the labor leaders wero going to d and our police were used to this end. "Incident to failure to get proper pro tection from the city we had to appeal to the county and from the county wc got fifty detectives. Our plants and yards constantly were invaded. Strikers threw missiles at our trainmen and there was actual violence almost constantly." Assault I'pon .llahrr. Crelghton, referring to Hoyer'e testi mony on an assault by Constable Luther upon Gallagher, a labor organiser, de clared the attack had nothing to do with the strike. Luther, he said, atta ked Gallagher hecaUBe Mrs. Luther eald he had Insulted her. "Did you know that Gallagher died shortly after that, assault?'1 asked Com missioner O'Connell. "I did not." "Well, he did. If the Pennsylvania company was not Interested in that case why did the master mechanic of your shop go to the mayor to appeal for Luther, statin that the Judge, district attorney and everybody but tha mayor had been fixed?" "I called Mr. Redding ithe master mechanic) on the long distance last night." said Crelghton. "and he declared that he never said anything of the kin to Hoyer. I think the mayor s use of the word fixed was an unfortunate one. I don't think he meant It Just that way." Chairman Walsh asked Crelghton to get an affidavit from Redding. At the time of the Altoona strike Crelghton said 'arms were secured from the purchasing agent at Philadelphia, who kept revolvers on hand In times of peace- "Ordinary policemen's clubs aro turned out In our factories whenever there is trouble, said he. ' "The questioning turned to conditions in Altoona. Mr. Crelghton said there waa "no trouble there until these organlxera tried to stir up trouble in order to win a strike at Pltcalrn." . . . Commissioner? Atthton. asked C mights about Mayor Hoyor's charge that he waa trylnjj to Incite trouble In urgin him to arrest striker. k - 'The streets were filled with threaten ing mobs and I thought we' aught to get action' from- Titm," aaid Crelghton; "It was clearly a case of his failure to appre ciate the danger of an uprising." Qae.tlon fcy Mrs. Harrlmao. Mrs. J. Borden Harrlmnn asked Mr. Crelghton if the Pennsylvania- officials tried to confer with the labor organisers at 'Altoona. "Certainly not," said' Crelghton. "They were' Intruders who came to Altoona to stir up trouble because of failure to win a strike on the western, division. AVe did not deem It our duty to- consult with men of this character,-whose busi ness In our community wns to disturb our peace." ' "Did you ever try to convince the la bor leaders that they' were In the wrong,". Mrs. Harriman asked. "How did you know they would not reason with you If yon never talked with them?" "There waa absolutely no reason to talk with them." Commissioner Lennon asked what the Pennsylvania would do If he should go to Altoona to organize workmen. Crelgh ton replied: We would do all we could to prevent organisation of unions to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor or any organization which would subject : us to sympathetic strikes or the closed shop."
