Pullman System
Is Called Unfair
CALIFORNIA RAILROAD COMMISSION SAYS METHODS
IMPOSE ON TRAVELLING PUBLIC. PORTERS LIVE
ON TIPS FULL PROBE OF AFFAIRS THREAT
ENED IF CHANGE IS NOT MADE

San Francisco, April 29.-Di-
recting the Pullman company to
correct within thirty days numer-
Gus conditions found to exist
throughout its service in California
the state railroad commission is
sued today its findings from an
investigation into the rules. regu-
lations and practices OF the car
corporation which has extended
over six months and has occupied
the attention of the entire com.
mission.
While there are ten separate SUBJ
iects of complaint, the commission
lays its greatest emphasis upon the
attention of employees to patrons of
the company and the inadequancy
of the present wage paid to porters
who are paid but $27.5O month
and who thereby are compelled to
look to the travelling public for
their principal ircome.
TIP SYSTEM CONDEMNED
The report severely criticises
the Pullman company for forcing
it's employees to rely upon the 'tip
system," and it says that unless re-
form steps are taken the commits
sion will institute an investigation
into the rates of the company with
view either of increasing the
rates or the corporation SO as to
enable the company to pay proper
wages, or of determining if the
company has the earnings, but not
the will, to pay fair wage.
If" says the report, lit be found
that it's rates are generous and that
this company is not poor, but
merely mean, and that the Ameri-
can public is dealing not only
Justly but generously with this in
stitution. which in it's turn deals
unjustly and niggardly with its
employees, then the American pub
lie certainly would be justified in
at least dispensing with the gener-
osity aid limiting this company,
conducting itself as it is, to the
barest amount that the cold con-
sideraticns of justice warrent it in
securing.
"The Pullman company attempt
ed to make this commission believe
that the wages it pays its employees
are proper, and that it did not ex.
pect its employees to secure money
from the public. 1t is hard for us
to determine which should be crit
icised the more, the attitude of this
company in it's action in this re-
gard, or its surposition that 1t
could make this commission be-

Chicago, ILL.,. April 2l.-A Chi
cago boy, Thomas j. Francis, who
left here ten years ago and went to
Texas, writes a letter to the Illinois
Idea under date of April s, from
San Pedro, Mexico, camp of the
Constitutionalist army, in which
he states that he is a colonel in the
eighth general division, Constitu-
tionalist army, commanded by
General Gamargo. Colonel Fran
chs said in the letter that he OWLS
a ranch in Texas and has been in
business in Chihuahua for five
years Last year he joined the
Constitutionalist and was given
the rank of lieutenant. He has
been in seventeen battles and was
promoted to his colonecy after the
siege of Torreon, in which his
troops were engaged. Referring
to the report that Villa is a Negro,
Colonel Francis says he has the
features of Negro. In the ranks
of the Mexican rebels are several
hundred American Negroes, the
writer asserts, naming j. w. Day,
Jr., Arthur Harvey, G. N. Thomp-
son, Jas. Blackshear, Ralph Cor
routhers and Kid Jonathan as
Chicago boys he has met. Thes
American Negroes are classed as
among the hes, and bravest fight

THE DOERS
Things nowadays are on COM
mercial basis. Everything is CIV
en- its value in dollars and cents.
And it becomes desirable in pro-
portion as it increases in value
The desirability of any class of
citizens is measured just as cleo
tricity, gas and water, and the con-
trolling elements of a corporation
know your worth and your consid-
GRAFTON for services rendered is
meted accordingly. What is true
of the individual becomes by the
same parity of reasoning true of the
race. We stand non-plussed at
the great commercial combinations
of capital projected and success
fully carried out by the white man.
We. see whole states subdued and
exploited by his genius. His
great financial and commercial
acuem seems marvellous. He CON-
bines great railroads and steam
ship lines, bringing the products
of the uttermost parts of the earth
to our door. We stand and watch
the parade go past. 1t is not nee
essarily the fault of the Negro that
he does not jump into the swim
and become part of our great fl
nancial world. He views the pres
ent day success Of the white man
and then looks back a thousand
years to note the various elements
which have contributed to his
making. Years of training, coup
lie with many wrecks and failures
lie behind present greatness.
