It may be q small matter-bHt we are
discussing n small matter when we refer
TO MIR. Pullman-but still there is no
more reason why we should fee q porter
on Pullman car than that we should
fee the engineer or the bridge gang.
We generally ask no special service Of
the porter. l don't even care whether
my head is toward the engine or vice
versa, and l wear patent leather shoes,
which ] wipe of generally with the
linen buster Of some wealthy passenger.

DO so and allow him to rest the upper
berth on my high hat while be feels

also allow people 20 die in the berth
above my own, and in every way try TO
make the company as little. trouble as
possible, and yet my shillings have
gone for 80 years TO help pay the salary
of man who is just as much Mr.. P.'s
servant as his gardener or his butler.
The truth is that you and /, Philhar-
monte, are paying Sir George Pullman's
coachman every time we ride in his car.
III Mr.. Pullman sees tit TO hire 10000
cOachmen while you and l only hire

harm, and I don't want to see him lose
even q hand towel or the heel tap of a
cake OF soap, bat while other business
