Car Works.
CHIcAdo, July THE Pullman palace
car company has advanced tho wages OF
its employees at tho Pullman shops 10
per cent, tho advance affecting about
1000 people. No formal announcement
had been made by tho company OF its
action, as the advance has been gradual,
taking effect in various departments at
different times during the last two
weeks. Vice President Wicker in dis
Cussing the matter to-day, said that the
company had assured its men last
year, when the great strike was
ordered. that wages would go up as
soon as business conditions would per-
nit, and that the present increase in
salaries was simply the iultllmens OF
tho promise made them.
The advance, coming aS it does Just a
year since the railroads OF the country
we're tied up in the effort to compel
spch an increase, Is regarded by labor
leaders ne strange. but the officials Of
the company deny that any significance
attaches TO the date OF the advance.

Elsie with his loathsome attentions, it

gion, the unhappy girls only recrea-
