Lieutenant Crosby, of the Artlinr, Drowned Yesterday Near Aberdeen, AYasu. . Arsnclnted Press. Chicago, August 20. The American Railway Union president, K. V. Debs, wna a witness before the strike com mission today. The court room waB crowded from bench to doorways. Re ferring; to the Investigation made by him at Pullman before the strike was ordered, Debs said: "I found the men working: for the Pullman Company at wages upon which they could not live. I found that salaries had been cut time and again,' until skilled mechanics were working; their lives away for wages rot sufficient for day laborers, and that the town of Pullman was so schemed that every penny the work Ingman made, found Its way back to the company. I determined to do all in my power as president of the American Railway Union to Improve the condition' of these men. A blrllte followed, ordered . by- the . men themselves. Then came the boycott; then followed the railroad strikes, or dered by the various local unions, each of which had grievances of Its own. The time was unpropltlous. I did not order the strikes, but I dp not wish to shirk any responsibility, and am willing to say I heartily concurred In and ap proved the action taken by ' the men. As to the violence, I always condemned It. - Debs said within five days after the strike was declared the union had the railroads. "But injunctions were sown broadcast, and shortly" afterwards the officials of the American Railway U,n ion were arrest id for contempt of court." Debs further said: ,"It seems strange that all our letters and telegrams are made public property while not a line ut the railroads' correspondence was published. If It had been I think we could prove that the general managers ot a secret meeting- declared they would damp the American Railway Union out of existence." George M. Pullman will be called before the commission. In reply to a question, Debs said the union had taken every possible means to prevent riots and disorder. "We objected to the presence of the' federal troops and not to the stalerfti-oops and police. If I remember rightly, no ser ious outbreak occurred until the federal troops arrived, as their presence in named the men." The witness told of the trouble with the railroad brother nooa. "Brotherhoods have outlived their usefulness," he said, "and for that reason I left the firemen's organization, They are jealous of the American Rail way union. . There Is now a movement on foot to form a United and Grand Railroad organization. Within a. few days a proposition will be submitted to other railroad organizations, where by the officials of the American Rail way Union and other unions , shall resign with no possibility of an election to office. The principal cause of the strike, then -being) relieved", an organiza tion will be effected if the brotherhoods will consent, which . shall include all emiloye." , . SAD DROWNING AFFAIR.
