Pullman Porters Vote to Strike.

Unless the President mterveneS ana
appoints an emergency board of Rrbi-
tration under the railroad mediation
law. the Pullman car porterS and maids
working on the railroad lines of this
country will strike tomorrow. More
shan 6000 are members of the broth
erhood. which, though not affiliated
directly with the American Federation
Of Labor. has the sympathetic support
Of that organization in the present ef-
fort to obtain redress of grievances
When a strike vote was taken the other
day. after refusal of the Pullman
TO recognize the organization the re-
suit was 6.0l3 i'll favor and less than
fifty against a walkout.
The union demands recognition, $3.50
month and an eight-hour day. The
present wage is $72.50 a month. with
tips averaging about $50 a month, out
OF which the porter pays s33 month
as occupational expense for food in
transit. two uniforms year and shoe
polish. The present hours average
nearly 400 a month The porters would
prefer a straight wage sufficient TO en-
able them to subsist without tips. Their
present net earnings. with tips. accord
ing to their figures are S975 month
They arc asking, as stated, $3.50 a
month on a no-tip basis.
The travelling public does not as q
rule object to tipping the porters, al
though in the average instance the
only real service rendered beyond the
making up of berths. which is trav-
cling necessity. is a few passes with
a whisk broom over the clothing and
the carrying of luggage into and out
OF the car The company cannot get
along without the service of the porter.
but outside of the preparation of beTths
the travelling public can do so. The
charges for sleeping and .parlor car
service are high enough to cover the
cost.
Ii has always been felt that the pub
lie should not be called upon to bear
the expense of maintenance and opera
ton service in the form OF gratuities.
1t would be a much more satisfactory
arrangement for the patrons Of the
Pullman cars to have the porters paid
living wage. even though the giving
Of tips might be continued. AT pres
ent. with the knowledge that the por-
ters have to depend upon gratuities for
their maintenance the travelling public
not unnaturally feels that it is pay
ing too much for the accommoda-
ton rendered There is, therefore. a
decided sympathy for the plea of the
porters that they be placed upon a
sound economic status and relieved of
the necessity Of relying upon gratuities
for their subsistence.
