for POrterS.
PRESIDENT OF PULLMAN COM
PANY GETS SALARY CHECK
OF s51,821 WHILE PORTERS
PAY DAY OF .29 CENTS

NEW YORK CITY, April Pull
man officials, according to study OF
high salaries Of Utility Executives
for 1888, made public by the Inter
state Commerce Committee, Feb
ruary 10, 1884, do not need any TIPS
from the long suffering public, such
as the Pauperized porters and maids,
says A. Philip Randolph, National
President of the Brotherhood Of
Sleeping Car Porters. at the head
quarters of the Union POT West 140th
Street, New York City.
The report states that the Presid-
emit Of the Pullman Company, d. A.
Crawford. received in 1888 the salary
Of $51 800, exclusive Of $3.50 Of other
compensation from the same source
for what service is not indicated.
This pay, too, vas the salary follow
ing the cut in 1882. But the Pullman
Porters' wages were reduced by $500,
which brought their pay down from
$77.60 in 1892 to $3.50, out Of which
1882, according to . study Of wages
and working conditions by the Labor
Bureau. Inc, Of New York City, was
paid cut by the porters occupational
expense. The expense includes meals
on train in transit, shoe polish equip
ment for shining passengers shoes,
two uniforms a year, lodging at the
termini, and two Insurance Policies,
one, with the Prudential Insurance
Company of America and the Pull
mar Porters Benefit Association of
America, States Mr.. Randolph.
Two sharp contrasting extremes
of pay Of Pullman officials and Port
er exist. Thousands Of porters
through the country receive pay
checks ranging down to as low as .29
cents, for two weeks work, observed
Randolph. Thus while the porters are
working at the rate of $7z.50 a mon
III, there is no definite minimum
wage for them, since thousands Of
porters are on the extra board who
do not make enough to keep body
and soul together, since tips during
the depression, according to porters
from coast to coast, have dropped
over rs per cent, continued porters'

1.-THE time, therefore, has come
when the nation should defend itself
against this national evil which has
assumed colossal proportions. What
ever our views of state rights may
be. we must recognize that, under
present day conditions, in the solu-
ton Of national questions state boun-
daries are becming less distinct.
More and more the national resources
are called upon for the making of
local improvements within the sew
eral states and for the relief of their
population from economis and physi-
cal distress. Hardly, then, does it
seem fitting that where the national
government is, on the solicitation of
state and local communities, making
ever increasing investment among
them, they should deny to the ma
tional government an interest and
voice in preventing in their own
midst r%ecurrances of mob Insured
ton which destroy the security Of
the national investment and which
undermine the strength Of the ma
tional credit and of the national in
stitutions.

This left East with the queen,

So, Mr.. Spingold led spade from

If he ruffed with the five of

If east ruffed with the ten or

family history.
But if you ask them to begin
their lives with wondering what
this, that, or the other person
may be saying about them; if
you tell them they must always
behave SO that no whisper of
gossip, no hint of scandal can
touch them, you're asking the i'm
possible, and very probably nip
ping whatever originality may be
budding within them.
You are going to be talked
about, since such is the common
lot of morals, and you can be rea-
sonably sure that everything said
will not be complimentary. The
strong person is the one who is
impervious to gossip, who goes
her own way unruffied by the
whispering brigades.
In this respect women seem
too inconsistent. I never saw one
who didn't enjoy a dish of gossip,
bordered with sprigs of malice, no
matter how well it was disguised
by the sauce of friendship. When
we so love to talk about other
people, why resent having other
people talk about us?
