PULLMAN PATERNALIsM.

Conspicuous among the lessons of the
gigantic struggle between labor and cap
ital which is now monopolizing the at
tention of the country, stands the failure
of the much lauded Pullman co-opera-
tive plan. The experiment of building
up tie town of Pullman has been fire.
quently described, and it has been fire.
quently referred to as an philanthropic
enterprise. 1t was hardly this, however,
for the Pullman company owned the
town, while the employees rented their
houses of the corporation and paid for
their privileges the same as if the prop
erty had been owned by individuals.
The building of the town of Pullman
was rather an experiment in paternal-
ism. The company bought the land,
built the houses and stores, as we'll as
the car shops, and virtually owned and
managed the entire community. This
worked we'll for the emplyes, as we'll as
for the company, so long as times were
favorable, because the men were we'll
paid, comfortably housed, and fully
protected in their interests, and they did
not feel their dependence upon the cor
poration. In the provision of many
privileges the employees of the company
did not have to think for themselves
because the company did all this, con-
dition of affairs which invariably leads
to increasing dependence on the part of
the man who has his thinking and judg-
ing done for him by Others.
The crucial test of this system of pa
ternalism came with the approach of
hard times. 1t was easy to satisfy the
laboring classes of Pullman when the
town was ever on the increase with the
flood of business which poured in upon
the company from all parts of the
country, but when the financial strin-
gency came and retrenchment was the
order of the day the Pullman company
had these people dependent upon its
hands, and the problem was what to
do with them. Mr.. Pullman claims the
company ran its shops awhile at a loss
for the purpose of affording former en-
ployes the means of subsistence, but
finally the company had to abandon its
paternal relation or lose an immense sum
of money and it choose the former
alternative.
The employees claimed that the relation
should be kept up with the implied obli-
cation to lose mouey if necessary, for
their continuance in their dependent
position had rendered many of them
practically helpless to "shift for them
selves;" and a conflict of views in
regard to this point is what has precipi-
tated the trouble in which so large a
section of our country now finds itself.
Paternalism may be a good thing in
some cases for q short time, but ii is safe
to say in the light of the present srike
and boycott on the Western railroads
that the Pullman municipal experiment

POLITICAL COMMENTS.

Speaking of women in politics. a
well known local populist who is a
shrewd observer and statician of some
notoriety, said to the INDICATOR reporter
in regard to the question of how the
fair sex would vote next November:
"Net more than one in FIVE will vote
the populist ticket. We had a practical
lesson Of that last spring at the city
election and we found that they voted
the republican ticket" When pushed
for reason for this he said: THAT is
easy. The women follow the silk
stocking crowd which in Pueblo is re-
publican, and that Is all there is to it."
