IL m1ght interest yOu 10 know that
there are about 1000 Pullman conduc-
tors and 2. 800 Pullman porters abroad
in the land. There are about 1000
Pullman sleeping cars being used
now. A conductor gets s67 per
month to begin ON and his salary is
gradually raised to $50 month. The
porters who are all colored, get only
$25 month. hardly enough to pay for
their grub. They are expected to
make their salary in tips. If the car
is full OF passengers at the end of u
trip the porter gets nice rake OFF. as
most men who have been ON the car
day or longer will give him quar-
ter or more. II Passengers are scarce
his pay is correspondinlgy small.
The Pullman company maintains a
system of inspectors who happen
around at any old time aud check the
conductors and porter up just as the
offices aud bank examiners examine
National banks. OF course the EN-
ployes are supposed not to know when
an inspector is TO get aboard but l
judge from observation they gene lilly
do know. Coming through Nevada
the other day the porter told me they
were looking for an inspector that
night, and sire enough at u station
an hour or two later tine inspt tcfor got
aboard. The employees of a passing
train had warned the boys on our
train. A few hours later the inspec-
tor got of to catch the next train east
and our boys In turned warned the
fellows on that train he was abont to
take, | suppose.
