The Pullman Palace Car company
at Pullman has imported lot of
French-Canadian mechanics. and
these will be given work by the COM
any at Pullman. 1t is said that
every morning unemployed skilled
workmcn and laborers apply at the
gates of the works for employment,
and the supply of home abor has far
exceeded the demand. This is GER
tainly not in accordance with the
many promises made to the laboring
man during the campaign OF 1896.
The men in 1900 will have :. chance
to right things at the ballot box. and
it is hoped that they will not he
coerced to vote against tEeir own in
terests the next time. Protection
NAV have enabled the Pullman COM
pany to cut large watermelon re-
Gently, but the rind seems to have
gone to the laboring mans share.
