PULLMAN'S PORTERS.
Why They Are Obliged to Accept Til

Why They Are Obliged to Accept Tips
From the Public.
Fail to tip the porter and il would be
better for your peace of mind and your CON-
fort Of body that you were quarantlned in
the baggage car or had remained a. home"
is railroad adage strictly observed, if not
highly esteemed by those who travel ex-
tensively.
Everybody knows that to forget to tip the
presiding genius of the rolling palaces dedi-
Gated TO morpheus would lead to an array
Of petty annoyances intended to make on e
feel smaller than a dwarf in Lilliput, and
even to actual suffering at the hands of one
or more OF Prince PullmaD's employees.
The porter Is not so very much to blame
after all. He has to live upon the miserable
plttance Of SIS month. In the face of this
1t i3 funny TO hear Mr.. George Nj. Pullman
deliver himself OF an opinion on this sub
lect. About the time he arrived i'm San
Francisco, several months since, there was
loud wall from the porters OF course
there was always wailiDg, but at this par
ticular time it had waxed exceedingly strong
and called f0r something III the shape of a
wet blanket
In an interview at that time Mr. Pullman
said: I've 90 not ask or expect tile public
to pay our porters. We pay them good sala-
ries and We can get ali the good porters We
want at tn5 price we pay them. Fees paid
by foolish people often demoralize the sery-
Ice. We wish the people would stop it."
People are made poorer by "demoraliz-
ing" MIR. Pullman's service, but the de.
moralizstion will go on just the same. as
matter Of self-defcnse.
An increase in salaries has been 30 often
denied that the porters have now decided to
ask for better equation between the
wages OF conductors and those received by
their craft A porter gets S15 per month
and conductor SIS. One does all the
work. the other nothing.
In buffet cars the porter gets S25. and
where he runs the car alone, without a con-
ductor, $50 per month is the salary. Yet IL
there were conductor and porter on the
same car their combined salaries would be
800 per month.
Porters are required to pay for ali the
linen lost on trip, and on the buffet cars to
make good all shortages. If it was not for
tips porters could not pay for the shoes they
wear. Yet Pullman says that tipping de-
moralizes his service

stole a dozen shirts from a Sixth-street
store last week. Detectives Crockett and

two men who shot John Doughertv. keeper
of a grocery and saloon at 1913 Silver street,
two weeks ago. The ruffians entered the
place and while he was drawing beer for
them he was shot in the back Of the head.
Then they tried to rob him, but he offered
such resistance that they fed and he pur-
sued them Until overcome by the loss of
blood. D0ugherty, who is an aged man,
has almost recovered from the wound. He

The Potrero Improvement Club held an
exciting meeting yesterday afternoon In
Maennerbund Hall, on the corner OF
Twenty-fourth stree. aud Potrero avenue.
Barney Koran was in the chair and good
number of the membership were present.
The question mostly at issue was the
opening of several streets in the Mission.
from Twenty-second TO Utah. Another
question many thought might have been
discussed was that of the "Pesthouse and
the rumored attempt to burn ii. 1t had
been openly charged by Special Officer p.
W. Winkley that he had overheard plot to
burn 1t to the ground at meeting of the
club he happened to attend. But the
charge was referred to only casually in the
discussion OF the projected opening Of the
streets. A member said: I'VE can stand
lepers and smallpox, but for the sake of
health let US have that hole near Utah
street filled. 1t Is constant drain on our
systems, while the Pesthouse is only an
eyesore and plague. to our feelings
With that the matter of the Pesthouse aud
Winkley's insane story was dropped.

views and desires.
The club then scored the City and County
Hospital on two counts; firstly, that the.in-
terms, nurses and patients make the veran-

them; and secondly, that the chimney on

headquarters on Montgomery street Satur-
day night. A practically full attendance
Of the sixty members comprising tho CON-
mittee appeared upon roll-call.
Charles j. Swift, Chairman of the COM
mittee. delivered an address of some length.
He reviewed the work incident TO the gal
liant struggle of two years ago, which re-
suited in the overthrow Of the Buckley
Rainey regime. He said some of the Dem
ocratic citizens who supported the histOri-
cal revolt had been enormously impressed
with the idea that an organization of the
disaffected wing of the old Buckley party,
usurpng the title Of Reform" was the
perpetuaton of eyeteran reform party,
and had been induced TO enroll in the men,
bershlp OF that movement While an APP
parent inactivity prevailed for the past few
months in the Reform Democracy, the
organization Is still in the field, and

number OF influential Democrats, who be-
lleVe that the organization which had the
moral courage 10 give battle TO the CID
regime in TIE day OF Its power and prestige
and overthrow II, was the safest one TO
follow. He believed the coming campaign
would bear good fruits, and that If those
Democratic citizens who clamored for re-
form were sincere they would rally to the
support of tile genuine Reform Democracy.
Secretary j. Is. Garland submitted a plan
fer effective campaign operations. which
was adopted. The plan proposed that tie
County Committee should act in conjunction
with that branch of the Reform Democracy
known as the Central Organization, which
Is composed Of the Influential Democratic
citizens who aided aud supported the move
ment during the last campaign. and who
declare that they will cneerfully renew
their support for the coming municipal
campaign. Besides this organization, the
300 delegates of the Irving Hail convention
will cooperate with the committee, and
thus pow ertul working organ Zati0n will
be effected.

the British ship Orlssa, lying at Green
street Wharf. walked over the bulklead at
6shermaRs wharf about rs o'clock last
night. The fellow was not too drunk to
shout for assistance, and his cries attracted
the attention OF some Italian fishermen who
were In their boats. Before they could
reach the spot, however, the man had swan
to the slip aud dragged himself out of the
water. The bath seemed to have sobered
him up. and after reaching the shore he dis
appeared across the street minus his hat
and one shoe.
