While he was perfectly Willing to talk with the committee he did not think the committee would want to waste time talking to him, He did not think bis company came within the meaning ot the House resolu- tion, He said that they employed 10,737 men, exclusive of officers, on the Missouri Packt road By ea trains were running reg! two ‘and ninety trains went oh yenlerday fey eet saanown by a telegram whl The committee decided that the Missouri! Pa- cific did come within the resolution on ac count of the trouble they had had with their employes, WHAT MR. GOULD KNOWS ABOUT THE STRIKES, Mr. Burnes asked the wtness to go over the pope sound aad: tell all he knew about the oa, ‘Mr. Gould said that on account of his absence he heard very little about the origin of the strikes, In August, he said, Powderly and others of the Knights of Lobor came to him on Sccount of troubles they had with the Wabash. ‘This was after he had had a settlement witb ali the Missouri Pacific men in the spring. The knights seemed to think that ho (Gouid) was Tesponsible for all railroads; that the sun never set and the moon nover ceased to shine on his toads. He told them that he could not control the Wabash; he had nothing to do with the troubles, and asked if they had any complaints to make of the Missouri Pacific, The unde: standing then was that if they had any troubl with the Missouri Pacific they should not strike, but would apply {o the officials for a settlement, He (Gould) then went away on his yacht, think- ing all was right. | ‘This spring there occurred the trouble with the Texas Pacific and ita men, It had no connection with the Missouri but the Knights of Labor held the Missoun Par cific. The Texus Pacific was in the hands of re- celvers. It was because they could not settle the difficulty with the Texas Pacific that the men struck on the Missouri Pacific, and not on ‘account of any grievance against that road, In this he sald the knights violated their contract with the company, THE EFFECT OF THE STRIKE. The witness then read telegrams that had passed between him and Mr, Hoxie and Mr. Powderly, whieh have been published. He then went on to explain the effect of the strike. Of theiremployes he said the Knights of Labor Wore the under, employes, whose absence from their posts would not be felt, by tl e company. Had they merely struck and gone away the operations of the road would not have been in- terfered with fora single moment, But they did not do this. They took forcible possession of the company’s property without pa: for it. ‘Thay took possession of the cities which formed the terminals of the road. ‘They said no freight shall be moved and exercised a power that the czar of Russia would not dare to attempt, The reason given for this strike by the strikers was ‘the dismissal of Hall by the Texas Pacific. ‘The witness’ attorney then read Mr. Hoxie letter explaining the trouble, which has bee Published betore. Mr. Gould was very ticular in trying to impress upon the committee that he did not re- cognize thut the Missouri Pacific was now hav- ing any trouble with ite employes, thus repudi- al Ing all th trikera, To statement read. Mr. Gould, proceeding with his statement, said that the statement made brought it down to the 10th of March. Then when the company tried to move their trains the engines were dis- abled, the men driven from the cara, the trains uncoupled and some of the company’s men were shot, POSITION OF GOVS. MARMADUKE AND MARTIN. ‘Then Gov. Marmaduke and Gov, Martin in- vestigated the trouble and tried, without suc- cess, to effect asettlement. They decided that the railroad was in the right. The statement of the two governors was read. MB, GOULD'S VERSION OF THE NEW YORK IN- TERVIEW. Mr. Gould 111d that it was known that you could lead @ horse to water, but could not make him drink. The company’s shops were open to them, but the men would not go to work. When Mr, McDowell first wrote witness sald he had told him that he, as an individual, would meet Mr. Powderly and consult with him. He met Mr. Powderly and Mr. McDowell, His Barpose of seeing them was to brace them up. ir. Powderly's secret circular was so different in its sentiment from the action of the strikers that he thought all that was needed was to brace him up. When he met Mr. Powderly that gentleman told nim that he was satistied t the Missouri Pacitic men had struck with- ‘out cause, and he had a mind to forfeit their charter. To this, Mr. Gould said, he replied that since Mr. Powderly had been so frank with him he then took from his pocket the dispatch to Mr, Hoxie, which has been so much talked of as the agreement of arbitration, ‘Witness then read the telegram and sald that ifthe English language was such that moré could be made out of it than wasin it, then he Was not, responsible, Neither Mr, McDowell nor Mr. Powderly had any authority to make public this telegram until it had been placed in he hands of Mr. Hoxie, But the morning after thelr interview the knights sient plans and had the telegram published, together ‘with an order for the men to go to work and the statement that Mr.Gould had agreed to their terms, This was done without authority, witness said, and was unfair. He wrote a letter to Mr, Powderly as soon as he saw the publica- tion, calling his attention to the misinterpre- tation of bis (Gould’s) attitude. Witness then read trom a ieport of his con- yersation with Mr. Powderly, in which Mr. Gould is quoted as saying, in reply to a ques- tion of Mr. Powderly as to the meaning af the telegram in which Mr. Gould said he no objections to arbitration, that he favored arbi- tration as a principle; that the whole mater was in the bands ot Mr, Hoxie, and Unis was to give him the further power to arbitrate. WHAT MADE MB. GOULD MAD, ‘The witness denied that there had been any secret communication between him and Mr. Hoxie with relation to the settlement. He got Mr, Hoxie’s reply to his telegram before he had sent the dispatch, it having bean pub- Ished, “This,” sald the witness, “irritated me, I was—I might say mad—I was mad,” Witness read a sworn to report of a conversa~ tion with Mr, Powderly, in which he (witness) complained of the way the previous interview had been misrepresent In this interview Mr. Powderly denied having given the stave ment to the press, Witness had read the dis~ patches and read the proclamation of congrat- ulation issued by the Knight where, as he put it, “everything looks lovely.” ‘Tien he read with marked emphasis and considerable feeling the very eloquent appeal for justice that the Knights issued after @ failure, in which Jay Gould is denounced in forced terms as an ‘oppressor, ‘These points Mr. Gould read very impressively, with a ring of irony in his voice. “This,” he sald, “is the response the three orders of the Knights of Labor made to our con- Unujng the bond of fellowship which we held out.” He then said that the company had resumed traffic, and that was why, ieeaid, the company did not come within the resolution authorizing the congressional investigation, To PUSH THE STRIKE, ry Mr. Powderly’s last appeal to Mr, Gould and Mr. Gould’s reply was read, ‘The examination of Mr. Gould was conducted by Mr, Burnes, of Mo. “While this hearing is going Gouid, producing a telegram, St. Louls pers yesterday published tie dispatch from ir, Hayes, who ls now in Washi ." He then read the dispatch, which told the knights topush the strike, as there was plenty of money. “This,” said Mr. Gould, “1s signed by the same man who signed the dispatch charging me with fhe death of the men who were shot In Kast St, ‘MR, HOXIE’S DELEGATED POWERS.
