ment and for the good of the cause to accept it.

1t, he would act In the same spirit in which it

1O PER CENT. IN THEIR WAGES.
CHICAGO, October 1.-Between 500 and 900
employees OF the Pullman palace sleeping car
works at Pullman, Ill, held a meeting last
ordering reduction in wages amounting to
aDout 10 per cent to go into effect this morning.
ihe reason assigned by the company for MAX
Ing such q reduction is that recent large con-
tracts were made on SO small margin of profit

OF making general strike was freely discussed,
