News.
Blair Harry, one of the most
popular passenger brakeman on
the International and Great North
ern, was seen by reporter for the
LIGHT last evening and questioned
as to the Pullman boycott extend
ing to San Antonio. Everything
is running smoothly and all trains
are on time," said he, pullman
sleepers come in and go out as
usual. The boys all seem to
be in the best of spirits
and there are no signs Of
any grievance brewing amongst
them. tits the work of such that
cannot join any other union or
brotherhood that has caused the
present trouble. i hardly believe
the boycott will extend further in
to Texas than at present and hope
that the end is near, as it is affect
ing those most who have nothing
to do with it,"
Another railroader, who is evil
IDENTIFY an agitator of the boycott,
spoke as follows Of the situation:
at makes me tired to hear peo-
pie say that the American Rail-
way union is to blame for this
trouble and if the union has any
grievance against the Pullman
company it should go about it in
a way that will not affect the
whole country. Now is there any
other way but this for the labor
ing man to stick up for his rights?
/ am well aware of the
fact that the boycott is prov
en- disastrous to the whole
country. Butt the railroads can
avoid all this trouble if they have
the welfare of the general public
at heart. Why don't they abandon
Pullman sleepers until Mr.. Pull
man settles with his men. No,
they must either handle Pullmans
or close up business. OF course the
newspapers will side with the rail-
roads, for that's how they make
their money. But let me tell you,
my friend, that's the whole story
in nutshell"
