TO EvlCT PULLMAN STRIKERS



CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Post prints the
following from Pullman: Pullman's ten
ants will be evicted. The company claims
that 1t must find houses for its new en-
ployes to live in. and ns the strikers have
been camping ill the Pullman flats with
out paying cent of rent for the last
three months they must get ont. This
move is the very last in the big strike,
and it will forever discomfit the employees.
The company's houses cover about 100
people. These 5000 consisted Of the strik-
ing workmen and their families There are
about ! 900 new men in the shops that
have families and that desire to live near
their work. The old employees must make
way for the new.

This will be q death blow to the ten
