Merriam declines Pettigrew resolution on Boers affair
Washington May 1 Brigadier General Merriam faced cross examination in the Coeur d Alene investigation. He rejected the idea that federal troops should force protection for mine owners at the expense of workers and asserted equal application of laws to both sides. The hearing touched on his views of labor unions, the role of government in labor disputes, and related accusations by labor leaders. Two other witnesses, Patrick J. Murphy and Edward Boyce, were discussed for subpoenas. Captain Frank A. Edwards defended troop conduct at prisoners’ quarters.
