In the report from Washington that
President Cleveland had, through secre-
agree TO arbitrate his differences with
his employees.
Mr.. Pullman Is really unable to talk,

What is there to arhitrate"" asked
Mr. West in return. I'VE simply could
not get orders for work. and SO had To
reduce the mems wages. This was done
rather than SOP work entirely. As 1t
was, we had to scud all over the cour-
try for a few orders TO keep the men in
work even at the reduced pay.
Just as soon as the business depres-
sion is over and we receive the usual
mems wages be better.
But the strike has gone far beyond
us and extended into greater territory"
Mr.. West impressed upon The World
reporter that he had not the slightest
authority to express these sentiments
on behalf of MIR. Pullman. They were
his own personal views.
"Will Mr.. Pullman make any conces-
sion to his men II they return TO work ?"
II am not In any position TO state Mr..
Pullman's views" was the reply. MIR.
West, speaking for himself. continues
"Eut let them return to us as they
went out. non-union men, and we will
then see what amicable arrangement can
be made. They were not union men
when they went out. Most all of them
have been made union men since the

ployees In all its dealings. 1t has had no
desire to deprive its men of fair pay.
The former wages could not possibly ne

went out"
When asked how long Mr.. Pullman
would remain on the river. Mr.. West
said he did not know. Mr. Pullman had
not decided himself. He might possibly
leave tomorrow.
