UPPER MARKET STREET.
a. Schluter. household goods-Tbe strike
Is killing business, but think the railroad
company is to blame. WorkiDgmen have
only one way to defend themselves and
enforcs their rights, and that is by strik-
ing.
NJ. Moss, glove-dealer-Jt is a matter
that concerns everybody, and we should
all give it great deal of thought. 1t is
killing business, but it is hard to say
who is to blame.
81. A. Cooper, Cooper's bookstore-The
strike is most certainly depressing bust
ness. So far as l am concerned, my SYM
pathies are to a certain extent with the
strikers, although l am against strikes.
There is bound to be a war between capi-
ia! and labor some day, and [ am afraid
this is the beginning of it. Labor has
rights as well as capital, and the sooner
that is understood by the controlling pow
ers the better off we will be.
Mr.. Cohn of Ackerman & Cohn refused
to be quoted.
F. ". Spencer, ptano-dealer-The rail-
road is justified in the position it has
taken. The workingmen are foolish 10
making the demands they have. 1t is like
debating to their employers. and an out
rage to the public. In the long run it will
iuiure them.
Max Shirpser. ieweler-Business is par
alyzed. To-day would have been a good
day if it hadn't been for this. AS it is
there is nothing doing. But, in fact, l
have no opinion about the right or wrong
of the strike.
j. O'KaUe, saddlery and harness-The
strike is fight against monopoly. Pull
man is a cZar. and the men ought to beat
him. The strike will open the eyes of the
people, and make them see the necessity
for another railroad.
r T. Osborn, hardware dealer - The
thing has completely paralyzed business of
all kinds, and has in fact been carried to ex-
cess. However, | think it is the beginning z
of great change to the country. Some
thing must be done and that very soon.
W. Wright-There must be something
under all this. Something is going to be
done and there will be trouble. But it has
TO be. 1t is as Napoleon said: 'You
can't make an omelette without breaking
eggs"
Andrew II. Davis, Golden Rule Bazaar
There is no use in denying the fact that
the strike is most serious impeachment to
business. but since the United States Gov
ernment sees fit to espouse the cause OF
the railroad it seems to be hardly within
the province Of citizens to play much part
I certainly do think that had the two sides
been 80 inclined conciatory measures conld
have been reached.
a. Coleman, tailor-The workman must
make a living and not be cut down to
o. nothing. | think they are right. But |
fear for the outcome OF the terrible state
of affairs.
j. Il. 0. Folkers, surgical instruments
Both are to blame. The railroads and
strikers are against one an other. and what
are we going to do? Il is hard to say
which is really to blame, but know busi-
ness is paraIyzed and hundreds of people
suffering.
Alexander Mackay. furniture-dealer-I
think 1t is about time the cars were mov-
ing 1t is disgrace that the United States
Government has taken the stand it has. Is
the Government going to sacrifice the coun-
try for one man? l sympathize with the
strikers and feel that the men are working
for cause.
Mr.. WE'LL, Kssps shoestore-I have moi
lime to consider such things. and if l had
Haven't time to talk about it now.
II. Charmak, manager Max Shirpser Jew.
elry Company symDathize with the
strikers, but cannot form an opinion as to
the ultimate result Of the trouble. know
~-that it is very bard on thousands of people,
but the strikers are suffering also.
Mr.. Fredericks of Win 81 Finck had
formed no opinion.
w. Manning, jeweler-We all of us have
too much feeling in the matter and don't
want to be quoted.
Mrs. Wilson, millinery store - The
strikers should all be sent to jail The
idea OF men making so much trouble In
the country when they don't have to. II
Pullman's men can't get 81 day they
ought to work for 30 cents. There are
plenty who would be glad of the chance.
I. 3. Russell, shoe-dealer-The strikers
are cutting their own tbroats. They are
also killing every inducement to invest
ment. and feel inclined to sell out and
move to New York.
Il. Lyons Of Lyons & Fisher-The strike
Is paralyzing business. Just which side is
right is more than | am able to saw,
A downtown man of commercial pur.
suits looked at the matter with cold and
calculating eye. "Its effects are curious, ~
