Q.  Isn't  it  surprising  that  they  should  come  out  on  the  even
quarters  and  halves?  A.  I  am  glad  they  did,  because  it  was
more  convenient  for  me.
Q.  It  was  easier  for  you  to  figure  it  up  ?  A.  They  gave  me
their  own  statements,  and  I  made  up  the  bills  from  their  own
statements,  each  individual  member.
<y.  (By  Senator  Ketcham) — Did  you  settle  this  strike  of  the
hatters  in  Newark;  they  had  along  strike  there?  A.  No,  sir;

Q.  Now,  the  next  one?  A.  There  is  the  Lehigh  Valley,  and
Adams  &  Co.;  that  is  in  Paterson, silk  and  cotton  weavers^  they
had  two  strikes  there ;  and  Woodbine  cloak  makers,  and  granite
cutters ;  that  is  all  that  I  recall  now.
Q.  That  is  about  all  there  are.  One  of  your  circulars  sent  to
me  simply  said  that ;  I  read  them  all  over ;  but  where  you  were
brought  up  to  any  existing  difficulties,  there  were  six  of  those.
