Sermon on the Strike.
NEW YoRx, August SIN preaching a
sermon on Labor, Rest and Strikes"
Rev. Joseph Pullman, of the Fleet
street, Brooklyn, II. E. Church, said:
"In the great strike Of the telegraph
operators the sympathy has been with
the workinRmen. The reason Of this
10 because q great monopoly has its
operators virtually where the south had
its slaves-under its heels-and because
this monopoly has manifested a Pagan
toward the thousands Of
trained laborers in its employ. This
pushes all competition out of
he deld, and then charges whatever
rates it pleases. Ii officers treat with
the courts Of justice and defy
The laws, and for the people who are
to pay their exorbitant rates
Il 10 practically robbery. This monopoly
has no moro right to il sxorbitant gains
than % many highway robbers or q
band of Indiana have to their plumber.
Wealth In increasing with much greater
than population in the United
States; but the condition Of the work
ingmAn is not materially benefited, for
he II dsfrauded and cheated by the
mon0polist. Communism, 20 far, has
not found footing 10 this land. though
it has shaken the thrones of European
despots; bat II these vast monopolies
which have grown up around rs are not
put down or checked say to Commuu-
ism God speed, for ] believe the time
has come when the American people
must either have reform o. revolution"
Mr.. Pullman also spoke Of the street
car companies not paying their en-
ployees sufficient wages. He said he
had been told BY q car driver that his
