Ihe Exact Facts.


To the Editor of the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, July l3.-IIR:
Please state the exact facts about
the Pullman Company's treatment
of its employees. 1t seems to methat
the first thing to be done at any
gathering, Labor or otherwise, called
To discuss the right or wrong of the
situation is to state exactly these
facts.
Will you so state them and oblige
ONE READER?
Last year, at the beginning of the
business depression, $500 men We're
employed at Pullman, receiving over
$4,000 a month in wages. The
business depression reduced the
number of employees by November /
to 1000. The average reductionin
the selling prices of the various
kinds of cars manufactured at Pull.
man was "a per cent; the average
reduction of the daily wages OF the
employees was from 1926 to $1.S5
or $1.90, or about 16 per cent.
With lower wages larger contracts
were secured, and last April 1900
hands were employed at Pullman.
Some of these contracts we're taken
at an actual loss to the company.
On May last the number of work
men had diminished to about 3,1O0,
and a request was made for an in
crease of wages, and grievances were
presented in reference to shop ad.
ministration and rents.
Redress of all these grievances.
excepting as to wages, vas promised
if the complaints proved to be well
founded. As to wages, Mr.. Pull.
man himself explained the situation
and said that if wages we're increas.
ed in the present hard times the
works would have to be closed. As
to rents, he also explained that the
capital invested in the Pullman ten
ements last year and the year be.
fore had returned a profit of only
1872 per cent. He called attention
to the fact that the Pullman EN-,
ployes we're entirely free to rent
houses outside of Pullman in the
djacent towns.
On May 10 the employees decided
to strike. Twenty-Five hundred Of
them left work. Six hundred re,
NAMED, but the force was so disor'
ganized that the next day the entire
works closed. The American Railway
Union then demanded that the Pull
man Company should agree to sub
NIT to arbitration the question as to
whether or not it should open its
shops at Pullman under the higher
scale of wages demanded by the
employees, and ordered a boycott oil
all the railways using Pullman cars.
The result of the boycott we al
know.
These are the facts.

cred with smiles. But | am not
going to try to tell any old jokes
about bathing suits being carried in
match boxes, etc. The bathers
wear what clothing they want;
maybe some of them are poor and
can't afford any more. 1t is wrong
to make fun of and find fault with
people on account of not having
many clothes. 1t is not good form.
The lookers-on should "get off the
beach" if they are not pleased with
what they see; and nobody gets of
the beach. The average American
has lots of curiosity.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.
Colonel Carroll Making Preparations
for the Coming Campaign.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July "a
Colonel John II. Carroll, vice chair
man of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Missouri, has been i'll
Washington for the past couple OF
DAYS. Colonel Carroll has been con-
sulting with Senators and Represen-
tatiyes from Missouri regarding the
conduct of the campaign in that
State. 1t seems to be the present
intention to open the speech-making
campaign at st. Louis Immediately
after the adjournmet of Congress,
somewhere towards the end of Au-
gust, perhaps.
Senator Vest will open the cam
paign there. Senator Coke will also
participate, and Colonel Carroll ex-
poets that Vice President Stevenson,
Speaker Crisp, Senator Daniel. OF
Virginia, and Representative Bailey,
of Texas, will make 4 few speeches
in the State. Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, will make &
speech at Kansas City onn after
the adjournment of Congress. Other
eminent speakers from abroad will
participate, too, and all the home
talent will be called on.
Colonel Carroll says that Governor
Stone and ex-governor Francis and
their friends will be expected to &C
actively into the campaign and take
the stump. He says that the cam.
paign will he conducted squurely or
the Kansas City platform. II seems
hat Il report vas sent abroad that
the managers of the campaign eX-
hibited 4 tendency to ignore the
platform adopted at Kansas City.
but Colonel Carroll says this is ;
feint of the enemy that every Demo
crat in Missouri stands ~squarely OF
the platform, and the contest will be
fought on that line.
Colonel Carroll says that the
heaviest part of the campaign work
must be done by home people. HI
intimates that the Congressman vii
have to go in deep. All the loca
talent, too, will be utilized on thu
stump and a dozen great meetings
will in all probability be arranged
throughout the State at which some
speaker of national fame will be The
chief orator. Colonel Carroll eX
poets to roll up an old-fashionet
Democratic majority, and says tina
while the speech.making part of thu
campaign will not begin for some
weeks yet, that organization is be-
ing now perfected, clubs are being
formed and all the preliminary worl
of the contest being arranged.

State and Federal Authority.

their respective powers and duties
in the present war-like emergency.
Notable among the governors who
have taken issue with the national
administration on this question are
Governor Stone, of Missouri, Alt
geld, of illinois, and Waite, of
Colorado.
In such a time of public distress
and commercial paralysis through
out the nation, it is certainly not
well for us to discuss the question OF
states rights, or the ACCESSIBILITY of
Uncle Sam interfering. Concert Of
thought and action is not merely
necessary just now-it is impera-
tive. As if uplifted by a single
man, the firm hand of the law
should be promptly raised against
all its enemies of every name, class
or condition. The lives and prop
erty of our people must be protect
ed at any cost from desperate hood
lums and anarchists, and we ought
to welcome any aid we can get, in
order that this protection may be at
fOrded to us. To each OF these men
in whom the people have in,ruste4
the enforcement of the civil laws of
our country, we would say, give, if
you can, every other man in author
ity tine credit of being thoroughly
sincere in his efforts To suppress
~lawlessness, and all work together III
perfect unity and harmony to restore
order and maintain peace. The dis.
cussion OF c%ontroyerted questions in
civil government, just now, is I'M
timely unnecessary and fraught with
the gravest dangers.
There can be no question that in
very many of Ii towns and cities.
during this strike, both state and
Federal laws have been grossly vio-
lated, and the civil authorities
openly detied. The Interstate COM
merce laws have been utterly disre-
garded, the United States mail has
been detained and delayed, and the
property of the general government
has, at many points, been defaced
and destroyed by riotous mobs. 1t is
the duty of the Federal Government
to protect its own peculiar interests
as 1t may see best, and it may law
fully and expediently do this with
out waiting for or asking aid from
state or local authority.

Women grow more frivolous every
day. Young ladies scGrn housework
and learn to e%mbroider. to play the
piano and to llirt, while their moth
ers are engaged in all the drudgery
of the household. They esclle all
useful reading, and prefer French
novels to English classics. In Sc
lectlng husbands they choose dandies
with social graces rather than men
with solid attainments. They are
full of strange, whimsical notions
peculiar to the age. Reader, this is
a synopsis Of the opinions of an En-
glish magazine writer of 1899 on
the women of his time. They sound
very much as if they were written
by certain pessimists of to-day.
There is no new thing under the sun.
