The Pullman Trouble.

The condition Of things at Pullman
have assumed serious aspect for the
strikers who still stoutly refuse to &C
cept the terms offered by the company.
George M. Pullman has determined
to turn the men out of house and
home who refuse to 60 to work. There
being some 5000 still on strike, that
number will be evicted and conse-
quently homeless. There are already
about 400 vacant houses in Pullman.
These are thought to be sufficient to
accommodate the new workmen en-
gagged. 1t is quite possible that the
town may be depopulated. About
1900 Of the strikers are tenants of the
Pullman company. Few, if any of
them have paid rent since the strike
began. Most of them are said to be too
poor to pay an expressman for hauling
their goods out of town. Nearly 1000
men, or within about 900 of the full
complement, are already engaged by
the company it is said, and eviction is
now in order they say.
