Admission of Evidence in Strike Arbitration
Atlanta Ga June 22 Special It became apparent at todays hearing of the Georgia railroad arbitration cane that counsel for the firemen would insist upon the widest range in admissibility of evidence A large amount of hearsay would be allowed and much which the other side called entirely irrelevant would also go in The firemen submitted a petition signed by three hundred Lithonia citizens to show public sentiment along the line but the arbitrators refused to consider it Major Joseph B Cummings for the Georgia railroad objected that much of the witness statement was hearsay and argumentative The arbitrators debated how broadly evidence could be admitted Mr Arnold argued the case was a common law proceeding and the board might choose to admit any evidence that would illuminate the case The board let Ball continue his statement for the time being but warned future witnesses to confine themselves to facts Ball described requirements for reading writing eyesight hearing and other tests as necessary for firemen He cited examinations on many rails and that engineers were often promoted from firemen He said Georgia railroad practices kept white firemen in lower ranks and blamed promotions on seniority of negro workers Ball faced cross examination by Major Cummings who opposed hearsay and long argumentative records The hearing continues with further discussion on admissible evidence The article notes Allen’s Foot Ease advertising at the end and is followed by an unrelated ad text.
