WILL NOT AID DEBS.
Switchmen Won't BE Instructed to
BOyc0ft PuIlmnn CarS.

Boycott Pullman Cars.
KANSAS CITY, June 2S.-Miles w. Bar
rett, of Kansas City grand chief of the
Switchmens Mutual Aid Association of
America, has sent letter to President
Debs, of the American Railway Union,
saying that members of the Mutual Aid
Association would not be ordered to re-
fuse to handle Pullman cars nor to join
in the boycott in any way. The Santa Fe
switchmen who refused to handle Pull
man cars, it is stated, are doing so on
their own responsibility and purely in SYM
pathy with the Santa Fe men, who have
been discharged in New Mexico.
Mr.. Barrett's letter to Mr.. Debs follows:
Dear Sr-Your message of this date
reached me at o'clock. i will say in re-
ply that / cannot understand why you call
upon the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Associa-
ton to assist you in your fight with the
Pullman Car Company. AS the switchmen
of this city, and on all roads entering IT,
have an agreement with their employers
TO do certain amount of work for a GER
tain amount OF pay. and as the railroads
have not up to this date violated any part
of the agreement, therefore l cannot and
Will not request members of our assOcia-
ton to quit switching Pullman cars or any
other cars the company requests them to
handle. The switchmen in the past have
elevate the standard of American labor,
and have always been ready to assist their
neighbors in their struggles for right but
1T must be remembered that they the
switchmen, have some laws TO respect and
while / at the head of this organiza-
ton 1 will that the laws and rules
OF the order are complied with faithfully
When the switchmen have troubles or q.
fight on their hands they must go it alone
because the troubles OF the swtchmen do
not concern the engineers the conductors
or the brakemen. and L am afraid they
never will. l have not forgotten the treat
ment our men received from other crafts
and railroad fraternties in the c., b. &
O., the Northwestern. the Buffalo, the
Springfield, o.. and other troubles"

It's streets are broad and well shaded.
1t is surrounded on the north and west
by White river. which affords the city
complete and thorough sewerage system:
The building foundation is gravel and
sand. and the death rate in the city of
Indianapolis is less than any other city OF
its size in the world. 1t has a magnifi-
cent water system. and one of the most
complete and perfect rapid transit street
railway systems of any city in the United
and its thousands and tens of thousands
OF happy homes are warmed by natural
gas. 1t is the cleanest city on earth.
The climate of this particular section of
Indiana is dry and uniform. and not sub

road. to secure employment in Chicago 1t
turned out that many of the applicants
were members of the A. r. u. Each man
was given a card bearing his name and
the number of the train he was to leave on
for the West. The union men were in
force. and as a nonunion man would appear
on the outside with his card he was taken
in hand by the American Railway Union
men. Quite a number OF the tickets were
torn up result of the argument set
forth. This evening Mr. Davis started
with eighteen men for the Fort Wayne
station, but before reaching there union
men had used such persuasive talk that
only nine remained with Mr.. Davis, and
they were shipped to Chicago at $40.
Twenty-Five recruits will be shipped TO
Chicago by the Panhandle route at 2:30 a.

morrow.

that they have as yet had no trouble in
