OldD6 tHo TallTOdu OuIcidiS LOT trying TO
control the business which they think they
wn l don't believe in boycott-just
say that I don't think a boycott is ever
iustifable. A strike sometimes is. AS a
firm we are directly affected and if il lasts
much longer it will make difference to US
of about forty carloads of paper. We are
allied with the frutamn in his loss, for all
the first fruit is wrapped in paper.
Gustave Neuburger of Neuburger,
Reiss & Co., dress goods. 516 Market
street-This thing is very costly to US. l
think the railroad company should be COM
PEELED to run cars without the Pullman if
that is the only difficulty and let the rail-
road company fix it up with the Pullman
Company afterward. | don't know what
can be done In the matter otherwise
T. N. Hulm of Rsilbrun, Held g. Co.,
wholesale millinery. 512 Market don't
see why the railroad company should stop
travel and deprive the public of the con-
venieDce and necessity of travel and ship
ping simply because the employees of Mr..
Pullman have trouble with their employer.
The railroad companies of the United
States are built for the transportation of
freight and the public. and the officials
are very wrong in depriving them Of what
is their undoubted right to the use
of the road, because of this difficulty be-
tween parties 5000 miles away. 1t is a
great detrimeut to business, as it cuts off
all connection with the outside trade. At
present we have a great many goods In
the house which ought to be on the road.
but the railroad company will not carry
them. The strike is a great detriment to
both the merchant and the customer. 1t is
nv opinion that railroads of the United
States should be controlled by the Govern
ment.
Warren S. Perkins of the Osborn Hard
ware and Tool Company, Ala Market-The
strike is hurting business, 1 know that,
but al to which side is responsible, l can't
say.
w. Davis, saddles, harness. ETC.. 410 Mar
ket-I have little sympathy for either side.
This strike is hurting business terribly.
1t is no affair of CALIFORNIA;, and Califor-
MIA should not be made to suffer for a
trouble originally so far away. To bring
it here is not right
Joseph Newman of Joseph Newman &
Co., jewelry. 406 and 4OS Market street,
is at Nevada City and can't get home be-
cause Of the strike. His manager, c. w.
Hacke, says the strike has cut off almost
their whole trade. which is out of town.
He had no opinion to express as to the
| cause.
J. C. Johnson & Co.. leather, 400 Mar
ket-The strike is interfering with our
mail trade, of course. That is all care to
say.
ri T..
Bryan Shoe Company-The thing has
about stopped trade with us. AS to the
cause or remedy l can't say.
Carroll & Carroll. liquors, BOG Market
Business with us has been kn nocked galley
west Hope the matter will be fixed uD
pretty soon. Wouldn't express an opinion
as to the right and wrong of this affair.
A. Kahn. stationery, 304 Market think
1t an outrage that the whole country should
be tied up the way it is for some trouble a
man has with 1000 men in Chicago. But l
have no advice to give TO the Southern
Pacific. We are losing by it consideraD Dly.
Sherwood s. Sherwood. fancy groceries.
212 and PA Market-There can be but one
opinion about the thing. The business
men of California are great financial losers
by the strike-it could and should have
been avoided.
G. nj. Keeny, general manager Pacific
Rolling -mills-Our business is paralyzed-
can get nothing out or In. Look up the
street. full of idle and empty wagons. We
think IL is an outrage. 1t ought to be
squelched Immediately and must BE. We
can't run our mill so long as it continues.
E. r. Baxter, for j. K. Armsby &5 Co.,
Pacific Coast products. 13S-142 Market
street-We think it is an outrage. The
| men have carried the thing entirely too
far, and we are not In sympathy with them
at all. We are in sympathy with labor
generally. but in this instance they are
not justified. We are unable to transact
any business with the East at all. We
ought to be very busy, and could be, but
are really sitting round here doing moth
ing. One Chicago house wired us Satur-
day that if it wasn't stopped we'd get no
further orders. The Pullman employees
are undoubtedly justified in their action.
but that is no reason why the whole coun-
try should be tied up.
z. M. Root, of Root & Sanderson, whole
sale grocers, 122-124 Market-My opinion
is that, while 1t works great hardships
upon every one. the railroad is right-the
principle behind them is right. The strik-
ers had no right to bring their grievances
out here. If the company took off those
Pullman cars and ran their trains with
out them they would be conceding the
right of the employees to dictate how they
should conduct their own business.
E. j. Bates of NJ. j. Brandenstein & Co.,
tea importers, 118-120 Market-We think
this is an outrage on the community. If
the railroad company has differences
with their employees they should settle it,.
We can't see why the entire business COM
munity should be made to suffer. If we
had trouble with our men. we certainly
would be chary of how we allowed our
neghbors to be drawn into it.
Charles Boudrow of Mighell & Boudrow,
ship-owners, 3S Market-We are not in
sympathy with the strikers in this in
stance. The strike has paralyzed our
business. We own ten ships and barks in
the coasting trade and they are rendered
idle by this strike, as they cannot be
loaded or discharged while the coal aud
other cars are not running.
Foltum. Holtum Brothers, California
wines, 565 Market-We have empty casks
TO be shipped to the vineyards and full
vats to be brought here and we can do
nothing. The railroad company could re-
lieve the situation if 1t would, and it
| should do so.
F. w. Vaughan, secretary and manager
of the Deare Implement Company, Market
