SCHOOL FOR PULLMAN PoRTERs
Company Finds 1t Difficult to Secure
Men to Clean Cars.

The Pullman company is finding
serious difficulty in many large cities
to secure sufficient men to clean its
cars. This is chiefly due to the fact
that the company only pays its en-
ployes once a month and the men who
perform this class of work want to be
paid every week or at least twice a
month. The fact that the Pullman
company is now paying the highest
wages in its history for car cleaning
is no inducement to this class of work
men They refuse to work unless they
are paid oftener, but so far the com
pany has not rescinded its rules.
The company is also confronted with
another serious labor problem. that of
securing competent colored porters for
sleeping and parlof cars. Some of the
officials have suggested that the best
way to overcome this dif1culty would
be to start training school for por-
ters and after they are released from
that institution have them on the cars
at half pay for a certain length of
time until they demonstrate their
efficiency for the work. Tt is said to
be almost an impossibiIity now for the
company to get good colored porters.
