Had George NJ. Pullman acceded to
the reasonable request of his employees
to arbitrate the difference between them
the trouble would have ended then and

arbitrators had been against the men

Mr.. Pullman has shown cowardice
moral perversity and pig-headedness
which entitle him to public censure.
No blunders OF rash labor leaders or
triumph gained by the exhaustion Of
poverty or the force OF authority can re-
