Union Men.
(By Associated Press. !


CHICAGO, Aug. THE sensation Of
the day yesterday at Pullman was the
refusal of Company NJ, infantry. to eat
at the same table with non-union men.
The workmen were a part Of the new
force hired yesterday and struggled in
with the soldiers on the apology that
they were afraid to go home for din
ner. As the practice had been tried in
smaller way last week to the dis
taste of the company, the soldiers were
prepared for decisive action. William
Byrnes. a member OF the company,
stepped into the entrance and said:
"As volunteer soldiers the men of
Company NJ are here to see that the
laws OF Illinois are enforced. ] am not
aware that 1t Is soldierly or that dis
cipline compeis us to do what we feel Is
unpatriotic and UNIV orthy of gentlemen.
My scruples demand that l shall not
associate with non-union men. ] refuse
| to sit with them at the same table"
There was an outburst Of applause from,
Byrnes's comrades. and Sergt. Cook
| marched the company across the street
| and broke ranks. The workmen were
| finally marched out and the company
marched in, receiving the assurance that
they will hereafter have the mess-teni
| to themselves.
