PULLnAN PORTER
APPEALS TO ROBERT 7. LINCOLN.
Was Discharged for Trying to Organ
ixe a Union-Has Written Book
Setting Forth thu Ponter,s Wronna

Was Discharged for Trying to Organ.
ize a Union--has Written a Book
Setting Forth the Porter's Wrongs.
"Freemen, Yet Slaves Under Abe
Lincoln's Son." is the title of a book.
let written by C. F. Anderson, a dis.
charged porter of the Pullman com.
pany, who is leading movement to or
ganize 5000 Pullman car porters. The
booklet is an appeal for better wages,
Encouragement of hours and soft
ening of certain hardships which the
writer declares all porters endure.
Robert T. Lincoln president of the
Pullman company, is taken severely to
task for an alleged lack OF considera-
tion for the men who contribute much
to the service of the company"
Anderson attributes his dismissal to
the company's belief that he was or.
ganizing union of porters. He de-
clares that the organization now being
formed will be a benefit association,
which will appeal rather than demand.
Public sentiment can bring us
things we want" said Anderson, "and
we shall play for 1t as hard as we
can"
In letter to President Lincoln, An
derson wrote:
You were elected president of the
Pullman company at salary equaling
that of the President of the United
States. That being true we under
stand how hard it must be for you to
realize how much real suffering men
have to endure who work lika slaves
for the meager salary of $25 a month.
The thing that now confronts you Is
industrial slavery. The situation that
controlled your father was chattel
slavery, and right manfully did he deal
with it."
In another part of the booklet An
derson points out that on one occa.
sion he was on practically continuous
duty for ia hours.
AS for tips. Anderson declares that
II 1t were not for the generosity of
travellers porter could not exist.
Anderson declares that porters on
the smaller lines, who are obliged to
perform the work of conductors in
connection with their own duties,
should receive an advance of,S5, or $40
month. The ordinary porter, he
holds, should be given $35 month In.
stead of $25, the present salary.
"Freemen, Yet Slaves" will be sent
broadcast through the country. with
editions de luxe for the officials of the
Pullman company.
