statement to the public with regard to
the efforts Of the company to keep Its
works open and give employment to Its
men Among other things he saysi
At the commencement Of the serious
depression last year we were employ ing
at Pullman 5Slo men and paying out In
wages there 1905 900 month. Negotia-
tions with Intending purchasers OF rail-
way equipment that were then pending
for new work were stopped by them, or
ders already given by others were can
celled, and we were obliged to lay of a
large number Of men In every depart

employees and their families ~ Pullman.
but also those living In the i'm m ediate
vicinity, including between 100 and 800
employees who had purchased homes and
to whom employment was actually
necessary to enable them to complete
their payments
I cenvassed the matter thoroughly
with the manager Of the works. and the
result Of this discussion was . revision In

APPEAL FROM DEBS
For The Support of All
Railroad Employees.
Mr.. R.PULLMAN'SSTATEMENT
Regarding the Efforts OF His Company
to Keep It's Employees at Work.

CHICAGO, June e80-President Debs has
issued the following appeal to the rail-
way employees Of Americas The struggle
with the Pullman company has de-
veloped into q contest between the pro-
aucing classes and the money power OF
the country.
We stand upon the ground that the
workingmen are entitled to Just proper
tion of the proceeds of their labor. This
the Pullman company denied them Re
ductions had been made from time TO
time, until the employees earned barely
sufficient wages to live. not enough TO
prevent them from sinking deeper and
deeper into Pullman's debt. thereby
mortgaging their bodies and souls, as well
as their children, to ths heartlsss corpora
ton
Up TO this point the light was between
the American Railway union and the
Pullman company. The American Rail-
way union resolved that It's members
would refuse to handle Pullman cars and
equipment. Then the railway corpora
tions came TO the rescue and declared to
the world that they would 70 into
partnership with the Pullman, 20 TO
speak, and stand by him in his devilish
work OF starv ing his employees to death.
The American Railway union accepted
the gage of war. aud thus the. contest Is
now on between the railway corporations
united solidly ON the one hand and the
labor forces on the other.
Every railway employe OF the country
should take this stand against the corpor-
ations in this fight, for II IL should be
lost corporations will have despotio sway,
and all employees will be reduced to a
condition scarcely removed above chattel
slavery, but the fight will not be lost
Corporate power. drunk with it's own
excuses, has presumed too far upon the
forbearanee of the American people. and,
Notwithstanding q subsidized press Ito
which there are many noble exceptions),
public sympathy Is with the strikers, who
are merely contendins for the right of
their fellow toilers to receive living wages
for their work.
appeal to strikers everywhere TO re-
train from any act of violence. Let there
be no interference with the affairs of the
companies, and above all let there be no
act Of depreciation. A man who will de-
stroy property or violate law is an enemy
and not a friend Of the cause of labor.
The great public 10 with us, and we need
only to maintain u dignihed, honest,
straightforward policy 10 achieve victory.
