HAD SIBB,OOO OF DEPOSITS AND THE PULLMAN PAY ROLL* AMOUNTED TO $7,000 PER DAY CARS WERE BEING BUILT AT LES- I THAN COST TO THE COMPANY IN ORDER TO GIVE THEIR EMPLOYEES WORK. The boycott of the Pullman Car Company had its beginning in a reduction of w«ges caused by the ianic of last year. The company promised to restore the old rates of wages as soon as business con ditions would permit. The ability of the company to restore wages of course depend ed upon its ability to secure con tracts for building cars at good prices The company was natural y anxious to preserve the organi zation of the men, both as a mat ter o F hum -uity and to have its forces in readiness for renewed activity when business revives. Meantime the depression in business continued even with greater seventy than last year. On tbn 7th of May of this year the employees of the Pullman Car Company made a formal demand for the restoration of the old wages. Mr. Pullman met the men and gave what seemed to him to be suilicent reasons why the old rates of wages could not be restored. He said that the business de pression and the reduction of or ders for cars had compelled the company to reduce their torce from 5.816 men in the beginning of 1892 to 2,000 ou the Ist, of No vember; that by hard struggling and by underbidding for work he had been able to keep the latter number employed and to increase the number gradually until he had 4,200 employed. How he had done this he ex plained in detail. He took an or der for fifty-five passenger cars for the Long Island railroad at 's3oo per car tees than the actual cost to ’he Pullman company. He took an order for 300 cattle cars and 250 refrigerator cars for the Northwestern railroad at sl2 per car less than cost, and twenty-five curs for the Lake Shoie road at $79 each less than cost, *‘l mention these particulars.” lie -aid, ‘so that you may understand what the company has done for the mutual interest and to secure for Hie people at Pullman and vicinity the benefit of the disbursement of the ktrge sums of money involved in these and similar contracts, which can be kept up only by the procure me nt of new orders for cars, for, as you know, about three-fourths of the men depend upon contract work for employment. ’ He added that there was less than sixty days’ contract work in eight un der all orders, and no possibility of getting any more woik at prices measured by the wages of May, 1893. In order to provide work and wages for the town of Pullman, where the company’s largest interests iay, he had closed the Detroit works altogether. Furthermore, the com- GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE pany had expended $160,000 in in ternal improvements which, under normal conditions, would have been postponed or spread over a numl e” of years. The day following this statement of Mr. Pullman as to the company’s affairs the local committee ordered a stnke, which was at once carried in to effect. As an evidence of the prosperi ty of these Pullman workingmen, they had on deposit in the Pull man Savings Bank at the begin-* ning of the strike $488,000. They pay roll before the s’rike amount ed to $7,000 a day. These savings wiU, of course, rapidly melt. awa\ if the strike should continue. But we do not think it will lasi long. The American Kailway Un ion will find it has made a serious blunder in throwing out of em ployment these thousands of men many of whom W’H be brought rapidly to the point of suffering. Mr. Deb may find also, when th< families of these men begin to suffer and he unablo to supply 'heir d- mauds for bread, that these hungry and disapointed men will turn upon him and hit committee. Besides, society at large may take a hand and resent this at tempt to paralyze the business ol .the whole country. It is a much more serious matter than these men seem to consider it to cut oil our food supplies by stopping the movement of trains. We do not ;deny the right of these strikers and bovcotters to dispose _of themselves as th»y please, but there are no condition* by which they can be justified in bringing on a state of things that might result in untold torture to society at large—Macon Tele ! graph. — , MAY NEVER BE HEARD OF A POSSE IS HUNTING FOR A FIEND IN WARE.
