He read extracts from the constitution constitu-tion of, the. Brotherhood of 'Locomotive Firemen to prove his contention that there were no grievances entertained byi the. employees against the road. Inasmuch Inas-much as the Brotherhood, according to his contention, had not proceeded In accordance ac-cordance with its own' laws. ' He declared further proof of thia In, his statement that the grievance committee com-mittee had never taken up any alleged grievance. The whole thing lay. he declared, de-clared, in the recognition of the union, and falling of this, -the defendants had conspired to Induce - the employees to stop work, and otherwise Injure the' road.' . 1 D .. -Taking up the affidavits submitted by the defendant. In which It waa claimed that the Wabash road, had not kept oed faith with its men. CoL Blodgetti declared that there had been Instance, cited by the men In which a jromi4 made by. President 'Ramsey or t. r officials of the road had not been ke t in spirit and letter. The denial of tlJe officials of the two brotherhoods th At, any coercion had been employed to induce in-duce the men to leave the" Wabash roe a was, the speaker declared, not founded npon fact. There are. be. stated, benefit funds la both organise tiona to' which the men pay monthly dues. There is In the lawai of both organizations, he said, a rule providing that If any member declined to strike when an order was issued by the officers, he should forfeit his mem-: bership and pecuniary benefits and action ac-tion taken under the fear of losing these! wss, he declared, plainly coercion. " Col. . Blodgett concluded his argument at 10:30 o'clock by a general resume of the. evidence, in which he declared it was plainly shown that a conspiracy ex-: listed to tie up the road and cripple its commerce.
