REPLIES TO PULLMAN.
The Rev. Carwardine Talks.

A mass.meeting was held yester-
day afternoon, at Epworth hall,
Halstead and Congress streets, at
which the Pullman strike was con-
sidered and reply made to Mr..
Pullman's pointed statements. The
meeting was called to order bv DR..
G. w. Gray, and, after a brief
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Burch, of the
Hamilton Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal church. The Rev. Mr.. Carwar-
dine, the Methodist minister at Pull
man, the principal speaker of the
day, was introduced. He spoke as
follows:
ut is my desire to be honest and
sincere and to give the truth in my
assertions. The Pullman like is the

HEROISM.

While we condemn strikes and
boycotts as methods, yet, we are
bonnd to say that the strike of the
A. R. u, in it's intention, will rank
as first.class heroism. Only LOO
persons were involved in the Pull
man strike, and, for the sake Of a
comparatively few people, the A. R.
U. staked employment, bread and
home. 1t is Christian in it's unself-
ishness and fulfills the claw of
Christ" in its effort to bear another's
burden, and it is ideally human, and,
while we deplore the loss of life and
destruction of property, we feel
bound to say that we give honor to
the motives and courage that
prompted the strike. The strong
who fight the battles of the weak
are the worlds heroes, and the only
class worthy of country and
name on it's roll of honor.

Pullman shops was repair work, tn
repairing of old cars, of refurnishins
them and such. At least 60 pc
cent of the work done in the shopI
at the time Of the strike was of tha
nature. 1t was his own work, ye,
his employees were cut 33 ! 3 pei

ing these cars. Not only that, but
great deal of work was done at
expense of he railroads themselves.
That makes matters worse.
"The wages of the laundry girls
were reduced, but prices of berths
were not reduced: if you ate dinner
in one of the Pullman dining cars
and wiped your moustache with a
napkin, washed and ironed by these
laundry girls, did you pay less for
that dinner
"The employees are quoted as want
ing the wages of 1868 for work
done at loss. The reason the en-
ployes went to Mr.. Pullman with
this demand was because they want.
ed something definite fixed so that
they might compromise. They ex-
pected to be able to lessen the Sc
verify of the cut. If they could
have reduced the cut from 33 l.3
per cent to 25 per cent many of the
men told me that they would have re
turned to work. The committee
that waited on him further asked
that he reduce the rent, equalize and
reform many petty abuses they were
subjected to.
"At the time of the strike, the
salaries of the officials were not cut,
nor of the heads of departments,
foremen and car inspectors. Since
the strike began, the clerical forces
and heads of departments have been.
cut: those receiving over 500 a
month to $lOO, and lower salaries in
like proportion. Since the shops
have been closed, the pay of the
watchmen has been cut so cents out
of $3.50.
"As to the inspection of his books,
many of the employees believe that
the books were doctored, or two
sets of books were kept. Any
way, what good would it do to
inspect ten Thousand sets of books
if it wouldn't change the tyranny
they were subjected to2 The morn
ing after the committee met Mr..
Pullman, three of them were laid of

to the employees, and now it has
nearly all been withdrawn. Now, il
this statement true? Did the EN-.
ployes deposit it all ? We must
bear in mind that many of the high Of
ficials of the company, store-keepers,
treasurers of lodges, and others de-
posted money in the bank. One
man had 100000 on deposit; an
other who had recently sold his farm
had So, ,OO0-the proceeds of the sale.
If all such amounts are counted as
deposits of employees it is easy to
make such statement But these en-
ployes were in debt to the extent of
$40, 900, and why ? Why, when
they went to the bank, didn't they
use the money to pay rent instead
of going into debt? Simply because
they were compelled to use the rent
money to support their families.
"Mr. Pullman further asserts that
the average earnings of every, MAJ,
woman and child in the Pullman
company's employ in 1898 were
over 5000. What was included in
this estimate of average earnings ?
The salaries of heads of departments,
of the clerical force and foremen and
others. Included IN the earnings of
1898 is the immense amount of mon
ey paid for overtime. The winter
of 1893 was one of the most pros
porous in the history of the Pull
man company. A gentleman who
has reason to know said that it was
one of the best years of the
the company. 1t was just before the
Worlds Fair when cars which were
used during that period were built.
For weeks at a time | only saw men
who were members of my church on
the Sabbath day, all their other time
being put in working overtime.
These wages are included in Pull
mans statement. 1t is unfair to in
clude the salaries of all officials in
estimating the average earnings of
the employees.
"Mr. Pullman further says that
he took certain contracts at loss
in order to keep his shops open.
And behind this impregnable po-
sition he intrenches himself, while
the public asks how it is that these
men want the wages of 1898 when
were taken at loss We |
admit that the Pullman company |

greatest, the most far-reaching strike
that has ever occurred. 1t is also
unique. At Pullman-a model town
wherein the industrial problem was
supposed to have been solved-3,'
900 persons went on a strike, May
/ lth, and surprised the world. Seven
weeks later, the American Railway
Union declared boycott upon Pull
man cars. Stagnation of all busi-
ness ensued, rioting occurred. The
general government was forced to
call out troops TO quell it.
"Were the men rash and un-
reasonable, or were they driven to
strike A person to answer this
must understand the peculiar rela-
ton of the Pullman town to its
employees. 1t is easy, as a cor.
respondent told me last week, to
write up the question from the COM
pany's standpoint or to make out a
strong case for the employees, but it
is hard to give fair review. Mr..
Pullman has made three statements,
the first two days before the men
struck, the second June 26, just af-
ter the boycott went into effect; the
third he gave out from his palatal
home by the sea, July l3. These
statements are PLAUSIBLE upon their
face, and persons reading them criti-
else the men for going out, and in
dorse Mr.. Pullman for his humanity
in taking contracts at loss to keep
his men at work. The Chicago
press simply bewilders the person
who wishes to know the truth. If
l were living in Chicago and only
read certain papers, | should be apt
to be severe in my condemnation of
the wicked Pullman strikers and
heartily endorse the Pullman COM
pany. But since | live in Pullman,
and have for the last two years
made careful study of the stu
alton there, | am able to read be-
tween the lines of these assertions
that Mr.. Pullman makes, and am
able to see the fallacies that they
contain.
81 hold Mr.. Pullman responsible
for the whole situation by virtue of
his position in the company. He is
the king, the autocrat, and he must
answer for the full measure of ca
pacity that belongs to him.
"In Mr.. Pullman's statement he
says that a little over a year ago
there was deposited in the Pullman
bank over 500, 900, which belonged
