when Pullman porters could afford %

are gone and the knight Of the broom

enough change left to enter a craps

Such, Al any rate, are the general
views expressed BY members OF the
Sleeping Car Pcrters and Car Service

The pOTt5-s complain that during the
past year OF 80 their earnings have been
steadily shrinking until they have al
most reached the vanishing point The
newspaper humortstS. with their jokes
anent the Pullman porters and their
wealth, are held partly responsible for
the changed conditions But the de-
crease in the size and number OF the
