Drs. Beeltman 81 Pixley, Of 81 West 12end

In the two preceding issues Of this paper,
carefully prepare as part Of their treatment
euoh courses of diet ae hevnried conditions
Of u patient and the ailment may require.
Upon concluding the diagnosis of case
and deciding the line of treatment to be ad-
mipistered, o diet schedule is sent 10 the pa

of food and drink best calculated to nourish

This is most important feature of their
as being Of itself productive of material

An individual suffering from Chronic
Rheumatism could never be cured by me-
diosnal treatment alone If he continued to
eat and drink certain things. The effect Of
the most powerful remedy may be wholly
codnteracted by thepatient's customary diet
and habits.
The Importance of experienced attention
to these matters as well as to the compound
Ing of the medicines prescribed will there
fore be readily understood.
The long experience of Drs. Beelman &
Pixley enable them to determine the indi-
vidual needs of patient from the reports
rendered upon their regular statement
blanks, and their acknowledged skill may
thus be brought to bear upon sufferer from
any disease in his own home, however dis.
tant it may be.
An individual statement blank, explaining

almost as pronounced as when a few
years ago Stead's Pail Mall Gazette

various shortcomings. Their anxiety
grows out of the discovery that Per-

keep. 1t is said an enormous amount

"When wages had been reduced in
this manner to the point where the
Pullman company was able to greatly
underbid it's competitors, with the in
evitSble result that wages must event.
uAlly have been reduced throughout the
nation, and when it became also sppar-
ent that the tenants would no longer be
able to pay their rents, and that num-
ber OF the houses would be vacated with
the result that rents would have to be
reduced, the Pullman company took con-
tracts at q figure lower than was offered
BY its competitors, and also crowded the
production and repair Of cars for its own
use, 30 that there were more men at
work in the shOps than at any time in
the Company's history.
"We submit to the intelligent voters
Of the United States that the following
elements make up rental value, namely,
the supply Of houses, the demand for
Same, and the purchasing power OF ten
ants, which can alone make that de-
msnd efectuRl. We submit, moreover,
that in case OF the sudden reduction Of
the income OF the tenants below what
was necessary to MAINTAIN their former
standard Of living, rents should be cor
respOndinRly reduced, and that the OK.
penditures Of q family are, in the order
Of Importance and necessity, first for
food and then for shelter and clothing.
"Under the regime thus introduced in
Pullman the workingmen found them
selves lsboring from ton to sixteen hours
day with the result that at the end OF
the month their receipts had not bal.
RnCed their expenditures, and they were
compelled to Rsk credit Of somebody.
The merchants had already granted dug
ing the enforced idleness all the credit
their means would permit, many carry
ing them to the extent OF thousands OF
dollars. The Pullman's company did
not reduce rents, And at the time the
strike was inSuguratsd said tenants be-
ing the employees OF the Pullman com.
pany were indebted for the one item of
rent to the extent Of $4,000.
"Thus the wOrkingmen found them.
selves in worse condition than did work
ingmen IN chSttel slavery, inRsmuch as
they did not receive their board and
ClothesDRor their labor, but found them
selves in debt to their employer after
faithfully labOring for him. We submit
that such q condition Of affairs was in
tolerRble, and that it is not strange that
che unOrganized wOrkingmen Of Pull
msn should have chosen to unite and
that they have stood faithful to their
cause until this day. They have nothing
but starvation to turn to or the most
humiliRtinR slavery il they return to

"For nearly three months these men
renamed idle, calling for no other as
distance from their fellows than fnan-
Cisl aid. At tho close OF that time, hsv-

under the name OF the General Man
ayers association. This association was
originally, perhaps, a merely social Or
ganization, but just previous to the
Worlds Fair, it was galvanized into life
Tor tho purpose OF fighting labor Orgsni-
cations. The Chicago Herald Of May 5,
1893, says Of this association:
"'The subject Of common interest came
in the svowed interest OF the employees
Of Chicago terminal lines to demand
higher wages during the Worlds Fair.
From that time the association took q
new lease Of life, and to-day there is no
more Rir-tight railway association on the
face Of the earth. It took complete charge
Of all matters dealing with the relations
between employees and the railroads.
The same paper further says:
"'Perhsps the strongest part Of the
association agreement is the provision
which would practically force sympathy
strikes in case of strike on any road an
Chicago. All the roads have bound
themselves to aCt in such strikes exactly
as though the strike were on their own
line. acquisitions for equipment or
men in any amount must be honorsd,
and q refusal OF employees Of other roads
to do the work Of strikers would result
in their instant discharge. Meantime
outside agents would be hiring and ship
ping in new men to take the place OF the
strikers
"It will be seen from this that previous
to the organization Of the American hail.
way union, June 20, 1893, q combination
had been entered into by the railway
corporations to ruin labor organizations
and to depress the rates Of wages
throughout the country.
"This General Managers association
promptly came to the rescus-oE the Pull
man Palace Car con ,psnY, It was
guilty Of interfering with commerce bs.
tween the states and with the carrying
of the United States mails by refusing
to carry passengers or express or mnilS
unless also carrying the cars OF the Pull
man company. The animus Of the Cen
eral Managers association and OF the
railway corporations composing it, is
evident from the action Of the Wander
bilt roads, which, while deadly enemies
of the Pullman company, came to the
assistance Of the other roads which
carried PullmRn oars. The only excuse
offered for the behavior Of these COM
panies was that they were parties TO con-
tracts compelling them to haul the cars
and would be subject to claims for dam
ages were they to break these contracts.
The laws in many states explicitly Ok.
cuse party to q contract from paying
damages when he is unable 10 carry out
the contract because OF q general strike,
and in states where there is no special
statute there is no doubt that this would
also be covered under q fair construction
Of the common law.
Besides, the contracts made with the
Pullman company are exclusive in char
acter, and the companies refuse to carry
the cars Of other persons or corporations
on the same terms, which is in itself q
violation Of the interstate commerce
act, ss we'll as Of the principles Of JUS
tice, and also Of antitrust Legislation.
