began coming in from the various railroads

used at Eighteenth street, and announced
that IL would want more tomorrow morn
ing Early this morning twenty-three dep

senger trains were brought in. Later the
same road asked for five extra men at its
depot. superintendent Troy, of the rail-
way mail service asked that more depd-
ties be sent TO Blue Island. as he had been
notified that the strikers there. numbering
about six hundred. were becoming unruly
and the officers were unable TO do any
thing with them. More deputies were sent.
Thirty-eight deputies were sent to Harvey

about three hundred deputies had been
sworn in. The greatest difficulty he en-
countered was in arming the men. but re-
volvers were purchased from pawn shops
and various stores. and there was no de-
lay in sending the men out on this account.

PULLMAN's STATEMENT.
His Employees Have Lost Over $780,
900 by Quitting Work.

CHICAGO. July George NJ. Pullman.
President of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany, VINO is now in Chicago. has issued
a comprehensive statement to the public
with regard to the efforts of the company
to keep its works open and give employ
rnent to its men. Among other things he
says:
AT the commencement of the serious de-
preston last year we were employing at
Pullman isis men, and paying out in wages
there 1905. 900 a month. Negotiations with
intending purchasers of railway equipment
that were then pending for new work were
stopped by them. orders already given by
others were Cancelled, and we were obliged
to lay off a large number of men in every
department, that by Nov. l. 1888 there
were only about two Thousand men in all
departments, or about one-third of the nor
NAL number. / realized the necessity for
the most strenuous eXertionS to procure
work Immediately, without which there
would be great embarrassment, not only
10 the employees and their families at Pull
man, but also To those living in the lmme-
diate vicinity. including between seven hum
dren and eight hundred employees who had
purchased homes and to whom employment
actually necessary to enable them to
complete their payments.
II canvassed the matter thoroughly with
the manager of the works and the result
of this discussion was a revision In piece
work prices, which, in the absence OF any
informatio to the contrary. l supposed TO
with lower prices all materials, per-
sonally undertook the work of the letting
of cars, and by making lower bids than
other manufacturers / secured work enough
to gradually increase our force from 200
up To about 1900 the number employed,
according to the April pay rolls, in all ca
pacites at Pullman. This result has not
been accomplished merely by reduction in
wages, but the company has borne its full
share by eliminating from it's estimates the
use of capital and machinery, and. in many
cases. even going below that and taking
work at considerable loss.
During the night of May. 10 strike was
decided upon, and accordingly next day
about $500 of the employees quit. leaving
about 600 at work. of whom very few were
skilled workmen. AS il was found imprac-
tcable to keep the shops in operation with
n force thus diminished and disorganized.
the next day those remaining were neces-
sariy laid off, and no work has since been
done i'm the shops. The pay rolls at the
time amounted to about $1,000 day, and
were reduced $500 by the strike. so that
during the period of little more than six
weeks which has elapsed the employees who
quit their work have deprived themselves
and their comrades of earnings OF more
than 500, 600

If men had left their engines they have

To begin with, when there is a grievance
the matter is thoroughly debated. and then
a two-thirds vote of all the members of
the brotherhood employed by the system
where the grievance arises is necessary to
bring about a strike. Then the matter is
laid before the chief, who must approve
the action of the strikers before the strike
can be declared legal one
DO you anticipate that the brotherhood
will be drawn into the big striker"
Not as a brotherhood. There may be
brotherhood engineers to the number of
thousands go out but if they do they do
so as individuals. You see, the brotherhood
has no grievance against any of the roads
whatever and no acsion can be taken by
its members in a body except in the man.
