Howard, Keliher and Rogers, A. R. U.
officials, today issued an ad iress to the
public, the substance of which is as
follows:
To the American Public: 1t is almost
universally concede that the Pullman
Company, through its oit-repeatei reduc-
ton of wages. excessive rents and many
other causes, has grievousy wronged ITS
employees; aud, whatever may be saiu
about the great strike winch has resulted
in consequence of such grievances, the ar
bitrary refusal OF the sail Pullman COR
pany 10 submit to arbitration. i'll any form,
IS proof positive that SAID company had no
faith in the Justice of its cause and Tears
the disclosures that are certain to result
from an honest Investigation; and, III view
of the heavy losses entailed upon the coun =
try, such obsiinacy on the pnft of the
Pullman Company Is deserving If the So
the Pullman Company shall be brought to
justice and in n way ihat shall not necessi-
tate strike with its attendant ills.
We have faith in the American people
they uphold justice, they love lar play
ana now, in the name of justice and Ia
play, we appeal to the great American PEG
pie, 10 every man and every good woman
not to ride in u Pullman car until the Pull
man Company does Justice TO its employee
Let the cars run absolutely empty. Nc
friend of labor or of humanity Will occupy
seat or berth in Pullman car. Let TIM
policy be inaugurated and we Will thei
see how long the companies Will be boun'
by their contracts, as they have induced
people 10 believe TO haul Pullman cars. w
propose to continue this fight against tn
Pullman Company through good and cvi
report and without regard to consequences
until justice shall be done. There will b
no surrender. We will use every ayailab.
and lawful means to press the contest.
1t is requested that all papers Throughout
the land favorable TO labor, to justice, |
humanity, copy tins statement in full an
