THE PULLMAN COMPANY NEEDS

r LII LIZ HMlNG
What the Pullman Company thinks
of the State of Illinois can readily be
understood by the following notice
which has been posted in all Pullman
car shops:
To the Industrial Board,
Springfield, ILL.,:
Notwithstanding to the act
of the General Assembly of the people
of the State of Illinois approved June
18th, 1918, entitled, IAN act to pro-
mote the general welfare of the peo-
pie of this state, providing for the en-
forcement and the administration
thereof and a penalty for its viola
tion," and repeating an act entitled,
IAN act to promote the general well
fare of the people of this state by
providing compensation for acciden-
tai injuries or death suffered in the
course of employment, approved
June 10, 1911, in force May I, 1912"
the Pullman Company hereby gives
notice of its election not to provide
any pay compensation according to
the provisions of said act.

(Attest) r. c. Kelly,

It might be a good idea for the
people of Illinois to give the Pullman
Company notice of their election to
take the Pullman Company to pieces
and find out what in the name of Big
Business makes it tick the way it
does-to say nothing Of teaching it a
little lesson as to the relative import
ance of the aforesaid Pullman Com
pany and the people Of the sovereign
state of Illinois. Maybe the Pullman
Company wouldn't be so doggone
brash then.

heard by the full court, this week.
AS the case progressed, Mr.. Mat
thews suggested that it might be de-
sirable for the court to have before
it all the evidence heard before the
Public Service Commission to enable
the court to determine whether the or
der of the commission was lawful.
f. d. Robbins, general counsel for
the railroad company and one of the
directors. addressed the court on that
question. In 1907, he said, when the
panic surprised the financial and bus
mess world. the New York, New Hav

for such an emergency. Prompt action
was essential to the safety of the road
and it was then that j. P. Morgan
secured from France one of the few
loans made by that country and tided
over its unexpected difficulties. If that
loan had been delayed a week the con-
sequences would have been disastrous
not only to the corporation but to it's
stockholders and the commonwealth.
Judge Sheldon ruled that he could
not accept any new evidence not pass
ed upon by the Public Service Com
mission, but that he would send to
the full court the record of the evil
dence taken by the commission. He
said that under the statutes the COM
missioners are not required to base
their conclusions entirely upon the
evidence presented to them. but are
given the right to make inquiries bear
ing upon the subject before making a
final decree.

short conference in the Senate marble
room, for having circulated literature

Senate print a public document and
address by Miss Annie Boyd of Los
Angeles in opposition to suffrage but
