Many people of the town and employ

WlCKES ON THE STAND.
lie Admits IA Reduction Looked I'm
fair. bu, Said II WINS for the hest.

@r.' ....'' tBy Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Vice-P President
Wiekes. of the Pullman Company, took
the stand to-day before the Strike Com
mission. Questioned by Chairman
Wright he said that the cost to the
Company OF building the cars under con-
tract at the time of the strike was
about 81 100000. The labor would cost
about $2tO,OOO. The contracts were taken
on a basis OF reduction of 20 per cent.
and thus under the old prices the labor
would cost about $4,000.
T. Mr.. Wickes admitted that ON this
basis the Company had reduced its re-
csipls $1,000 and the employees wages
5000. This, the Vice-President said,
looked hardly fair. but he thought II
much better than to throw the men en-
tirely out OF employment. 500
In answer to the Chairman, Mr.. Wickes
said that the cut In pay had been made
to ut the depression ia business and the
low selling price of cars and not to stop
any 1achment on the profits that
We're paid to the stockholders.
The surplus of s2o,GDo,80O undivided pro-
fits consisted partly OF idle cars, whose
value was constantly deterorating.
The cost of the cars was counted In
the surplus, Sd that there was. to some
extent. fiction In the figures of the
surplus.
AR. Wickes said that the Worlds
Fair, ir his opinion, did not do his
Company any particular good. The
Compay spen $4,000 in building now
not nearly 80 large as was expected.
He said the amount of back rent due
the Company from strikers was $780,
No eviction list had been made, and
there had been no orders for eviction.
Very little effort had been made to
collect the back rent

ing for It. and the men and women
employed by the latter demanded an
advance of rs cents on each cloak. This
advance Friedman Bros. advised their
contractors to concede. promising to
reimburse them. Many of the contrac-
tors. however, agreed to give their EN-
ployees only a portion Of the extra %
cents, retaining the balance for them
selves. This occasioned the strike last
week.
The contractors have to-day consented
to yield to the demand Of their EN-.
pioyees. and the latter have nearly all
returned to work.
There is trouble among the capmak-
ers, caused by the refusal of g. Simon

that there Is any truth In the rumored

afterwards confirmed.
