| CHICAGO, rep. Io.-Ine Qetermlnation
| of the Pullman Palace Car authorities at
| Pullman that the workmen at their shops
should pay ten cents per day for rides to
and from their work into Chicago has
aroused a decided feeling of hostility.
Heretofore transportation has been fur
nished free to employees at an expense OF
So, 900 per month, and it was held by the
company that the employees should share
half of the expenses. Yesterday, when
the company announced the pay system,
the carpenters and painters Immediately
struck, and gathering several hundred al
lies repaired to Market Square and held an
orderly meeting. Several speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed,
who waited on the manager. He met
them kindly and frankly, but told them
there was little likelihood that the COM
pany would recede from its position on
the fare question, though willing to oblige
the men on all other points; that the COM
pany had already paid out $500, 900 for
transportation OF its employees, and was
still willing to pay half the cost. The re-
suit of the interview was reported to the
meeting, which forthwith decided On q
general strike, unless Mr.. johnson Of the
Pullman Company would rescind the fare
order. The men agreed to form . union
in any event, and to-day Developments
will probably determine whether the strike
shall ensue.
