Asst SCENE OF THE STRIKE.
Woe and Misery in Store for the
Tenants of the Model
Town.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-George NJ. Pullman
| is back from Castle Rest and Newport
but he declines to be interviewed on the
events which have absorbed the puollc
mind, from which he HID himself away
last June
His home is still guarded by private
watchmen who lounge around the lawn
and keep watch on any one who stops to
glance at the abiding place of the president
of the $50. 900, 900 corporation.
Vice-President Wickes, the trusted lieu
tenant of the Marquis. and General Man
ager Brown of the Pullman works, called at
the Prairie-avenue mansion to-day. They
were recognized by the watchmen and
were soon inside in conference with their
chief for several hours, discussing the sit
uation a. the shops and formulating plans
for the future. 1t is presumed that action
will be determined upon for evicting the
Strikers from the company's houses.
The Post prints the following from Pull
man: Pulman's tenants will be eyicted.
Vice-President Wlckes said so to-day. The
company claims that it must find houses
for its new employees to live in. and. as
the strikers have been camping in the
Pullman fats without paying a cent of
rent for the last three months, they must
get out This move is the very last in the
big strike, and it will forever discomft the
employees. The company's houses cover
about 5000 PEOPLE at present. These 5000
consist of the striking workmen and their
families. There are about 1000 new men
in The shops that have families and that
desire to live near their work. The old
EN- ployes must make way for the new.

Mr.. Wickes was asked to-day.
Something of that kind must be DONE"
be replied. 1--WE must find quarters for
our new employees"
Have you taken any actual steps in the
matter yet?"
mo. not yet. but we will soon do So"
"When?"
II can't say exactly when, but very
soon" Mr.. Wickes spoke in a manner
from which one might gather that The law
yers were already looking about and would
be prepared at any minute to 60 ahead
with the work of eviction.
"Will it not be a troublesome process?"
"Ob, don't know. l suppose it can be
done easily enough. 1t must be done, any
how"
The eviction is the very last thing the
people have looked for. One woman on
Fulton street said: "Surely they will not
put us out; where would we go? We
have not money en- ough to buy bushel of
coal. We have no clothes. aud the Amer
lean public will not stand by and see
tn ousand families rendered homeless.
But that is undoubtedly what must be
done. for it is necessary that the company
take decisive action. The outlook for the
present population of the model town is
not full of cheer. In fact it is desperate
