man interviewed.

HOLLNWOODs ~. bss ruiy o'oCSA -
NJ. Pullman arrived at his summer resi-
dence here tonight in company with
General Horace Porter.
Regarding the strike he has little to
say as he declares be is not receiving
any special reports as to It's progress.
lie said his company had done the
best that could be done with the men
employed in the shops at Pullman and
he thought the men who worked at Pull
man would bear him out IN his statement.
For months business has not paid ex-
psnses. For some time the Pullman
company has been paying more TO build
cars than they received for them when
built. 1t was the FIRST time in the his
tory OF the village Of Pullman

bic over labor or wages. he
trusted the men would soon see the
foolishness of their course and try to
reach an amicaOle agreement. The
strike has now lasted over two weeks
and has cost the mining, railroad and
vessel companies together with the men
millions OF dollars.
