for the Law, for the Onlon or, for
Any Matt on Earth."
New York, June 2.2.-9%,e oxaminars
tion of Samuel J. Parks, the walking
delegate of the 73ousesmiths' and
Bridgemen's Union, on charges of ex-
tortion, 'preferred against him by
four different complainants, began
yesterday before Justice Mayer In the
Court Of Special Sessions. The court
room -was crowded withmen pro-
minent in the building trades unions,
among them almost ars many enemies
of Parks as friends.
Niels Poulton, President of the
Hecla Iron Works of Brooklyn, the
chief complainant against Parks,
was cross-examined by 'eXoMe gistrate
Brann, Parks' counsel :Asked whe.
ther he had ever paid any money to
a walking delegate before the al-
Leg;ed payment to Parks, he said:
11 Yes, once ,before. A walking dele-
gate came to .ino and told me that
certain of the men in our employ
were behind in their dues to the
union, and that ;unless thego dues
were paid they would be expelled.
This, of course, would make them
nanf-union men, he said, and their
continuance at Work 'for us would
necessitate his ordering;, a strike. It
was intimated that if I paid Ithese
back dues for the men it would be
all right; so, I paid the money, $35o,
because we couldn't afford to have
a strike at that time."
MY Poulson said that he waited
a 'year before bringing charges
against Parks .because it took him
that long to get over the effects
of the strike that Parks had or-
dered. °Asked to whom he had talked
about :the payment of money to
Parks, he said..
"I talked to members of the Iroa
League about It. Tlrey all knew; the
exact situation, and they said it wad
too bad, but that there was no ways
Out of It,. mild tdrnt I would have to
grin and beer it,"
Mr. Poulson said he presented the
matter to the District Atorney: oX
has awn accord, and not at any} -
body's suggestion.
"]:tut," Bald Mr. Brawn, "you never
made any; charger, against the
walking delegate . that got gout

"No; he ran ,,way;" said tQie wit-
ness.
Q. Didn't Parks toll •you that he
couldn't persuade the men to go
back to work unless you paid them
their waiting time? A. No,
Q. When Mr. McCord made this
cheque out for $2'000 you didn't pro-
test about it did, ybu ? A. NO; I
knew thktl :I l>wad to pay. Our business
wais going to pieces and others were
being badly- hurt.
Q. Did .you consider thM, you were
giving it ars a bribe? A. I would
not consider it a bribe if I -,vas field
up by; a highwayman.
Q. But y-ou were willing to deal
-with' Parks. A. -I had to deal with
bdm or go oat of busWess.
Q. What did Parks say) to lora ? A.
HO was in:tro n'cod to me by.,. another.
walking delegate,. and when we
Shook hands fie sad he was very;
much pleased to, know
ie' the head of
the firm. Then I a,sik6d him why he
had ordered the strilre, when Neidig,

hrid been to me anti apologized be.

the Strike Kinn-" 1. Pon't Care
for the Law, for the Onlon or, for
Any Matt on Earth."
New York, June 2.2.-9%,e oxaminars
tion of Samuel J. Parks, the walking
delegate of the 73ousesmiths' and
Bridgemen's Union, on charges of ex-
tortion, 'preferred against him by
four different complainants, began
yesterday before Justice Mayer In the
Court Of Special Sessions. The court
room -was crowded withmen pro-
minent in the building trades unions,
among them almost ars many enemies
of Parks as friends.
Niels Poulton, President of the
Hecla Iron Works of Brooklyn, the
chief complainant against Parks,
was cross-examined by 'eXoMe gistrate
Brann, Parks' counsel :Asked whe.
ther he had ever paid any money to
a walking delegate before the al-
Leg;ed payment to Parks, he said:
11 Yes, once ,before. A walking dele-
gate came to .ino and told me that
certain of the men in our employ
were behind in their dues to the
union, and that ;unless thego dues
were paid they would be expelled.
This, of course, would make them
nanf-union men, he said, and their
continuance at Work 'for us would
necessitate his ordering;, a strike. It
was intimated that if I paid Ithese
back dues for the men it would be
all right; so, I paid the money, $35o,
because we couldn't afford to have
a strike at that time."
MY Poulson said that he waited
a 'year before bringing charges
against Parks .because it took him
that long to get over the effects
of the strike that Parks had or-
dered. °Asked to whom he had talked
about :the payment of money to
Parks, he said..
"I talked to members of the Iroa
League about It. Tlrey all knew; the
exact situation, and they said it wad
too bad, but that there was no ways
Out of It,. mild tdrnt I would have to
grin and beer it,"
Mr. Poulson said he presented the
matter to the District Atorney: oX
has awn accord, and not at any} -
body's suggestion.
"]:tut," Bald Mr. Brawn, "you never
made any; charger, against the
walking delegate . that got gout

"No; he ran ,,way;" said tQie wit-
ness.
Q. Didn't Parks toll •you that he
couldn't persuade the men to go
back to work unless you paid them
their waiting time? A. No,
Q. When Mr. McCord made this
cheque out for $2'000 you didn't pro-
test about it did, ybu ? A. NO; I
knew thktl :I l>wad to pay. Our business
wais going to pieces and others were
being badly- hurt.
Q. Did .you consider thM, you were
giving it ars a bribe? A. I would
not consider it a bribe if I -,vas field
up by; a highwayman.
Q. But y-ou were willing to deal
