Mr. Kearns. Do j^ou have any further questions, Mr. Counsel?
Mr. McCann. No ; I have no further questions.
Mr. Cobb. Mr. Chairman, I made a facetious remark to Mr. Freeman, and intended it in all kindness. It miglit not read right in print. May I state for the record that I hold i\Ir. Freeman in very high esteem, and that I personally wish to thank him for his candor and frankness as a witness.
Mr. Freeman. Thank you, Mr. Cobb.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, may he be excused subject to call? I want to say for the record, Mr. Chairman, before the crowd begins to scatter, that this afternoon is going to be very largely made up of the reading of correspondence and telegrams from various union leaders to Mr. Casey.

Mr. Kearns. Adjourned to 2 o'clock.
