many Indications of the fach A
my expressions nnd those autv
uy mo nave been dwtorted and
misleading to the public nnd of n
entire forgetting of my earnest efforts
to picvent the strike that perhaps it
la well that I should again make a
public assurance that the deplorable
events of thtf last few weeks have not
been caused by the Pullman companj
taking an obstlnato Btand tn a debat-
able matter and refused to listen to
reaon Tho leaders of disorder have
not licBitated to harass the public by
all mcvns in their power Decause as
they say the Pullman companj would
not submit to arbitration nnd now
that disorder seems to be quelled they
are reinforced In their clamor for ar-
bitration by some prominent newspa-
pers but so far as I know they are
very few of any business men in the
countrj What Is the demand conceal-
ed under the Innocent sounding word
arbitration
A Uttlo moro than a sear ago the
Bhops at Pullman were in a prosper
out condition work was plentj wages
were high and tho condition of he
emplojes was indicated by the fact
that the local savings bnnks had sav-
ings depobitcd of nearly 700 000 of
which nearly all was the property of
the employe Our pay rolls for that
year enow an average earning of over
G00 per annum for every jerson man
woman or jouth on the rolls Then
came the great panic and depression
of last summer Many customers
stopped negotiations and cancelled or-
ders and our working force had to be
diminished from nearly MO0 to 2000
In November 1S91 The great business
depuMon existing throughout the
countr had naturally resulted in a
wage depression and the onl hope of
getting orders was by bidding for
work nt prices as low or lower than
could be made by othtr shops and
this of course necfssltnted n reduction
In the wages of the emplojes at Pull-
man This was arranged satisfactor-
ily as X supposed and In close com-
petitions disiegardlng all account of
capital and machinery I secured
enough work to gradually Increase our
force to 42X tho number on the pay
roll last April Nine weeks ago the car
shops at Pulliran were working with
car building contracts on hand enough
to keep them going for about sixty
dais and when nil business forecasts
leading to the belief that no consider-
able new orders could be had the most
Impoitont of the work In hand had
been taken by ine In competitions at
which were less than tho actual cost
to the company of delivering without
of the capital
any recompense of the use
ital and plant This work was taken
to keep the large force of men employ-
ed and to postpone and with the hope
of avoiding the numberless embarrass-
ments to nil classes of people at Pull-
man and its vlclnttv or the ctoirtng
down of the works to present which
rtnMoi it a wise pol
icy to operate the shops temporarily at
rents of any landlord are to ba llxed
by arbitration and that those of the
and
adjoining towns of Kensington
Iloseland should also be so llxed It can
hardly be naked that the Pullman
company should abandon the ordinary
nersons In that
rules vnica bun
relation As to cliarBes lor ain
company until lately had a contract
with llw Mllauo of Hsue Pari under
which It paid four cents per thousand
Ballons and pumped the water Itself
The cross amount paid the tillage pr
month for the water consumed by tho
tenants was almost exactly the cross
sum paid by the tenant therefor 8 neo
rark and Pullman
the 1 iduslon of Hyde
man within the city of Chicago the
company pas the city about seven
cents per thousand gallons and not
htniF inrpfispd the charRe to the
tenants are paylnir for the water con
sumed oy mem aouui ttvw ici uiumu
more than Is charged to them The
compan has modo repeated efforts to
disassociate Itself from the supplying
of water to tenants but the city of
Chicago has as et failed to apply
tho ordinary frontage tales to the
houses and ehops In Pullman although
it ffl done in ine i
strenuous efforts have also been
ia in preate prejudice against the
Pullman company by charges that Its
atock is heavily watered The rullman
company was organised twenty seven
with capital of one million
5 ears ago
lion of which two thirds represented
the appraised alue of Its cars then
held Si three owners and one third
lrented the appraised value of Its

Is plainly not a subject of atbltratlon
js it not then reasonable that the com
pan should bu asked tQ arbitrate
whether or not Is should submit such
a question to arbitration Removing
the original nnd fundamental question
no stage does not help the matter
the question wouldstlll remain Can I
as a business man knowing the truth
of the faot which 1 have stated bind
myself that I will in any contingency
open and operate the Pullman cur
shops nt n loss If It should happen
to be the opinion of n third party thnt
I should do sor The answer seems lo
le plain Tho public should not permit
the real question which has been be-
fore It to bo obscured The question
was as to the possibility or the crea-
tion and duration o a dictatorship
which could muke all the Industries
of tho United States and tho dally
comfort of the millions dependent upon
them hostages for thp granting of any
fantastic whim of such a dictator
Any suhmlsslon to him would havn
been a long step In that direction nnd
1 11
citizen of the United States was not
to be considered for a moment
A few words are pert hunt as to
against the compan One of the

in ails v mditlon of thlnrs came tho
agitation seeking to create a labor
orjiitzutloi embiaclng all railway
emplojes and nppircntly other indus-
tries
It Is m belief that the controversy
excited at rullman was merely a nfove
In the greater scheme these shops
being selected not on account of the
discontent In thrm but because of
their promise In y artous w a s and
because of the chance of a show of
Justification for a simultaneous es
eapelesH attack upon the railroads of
the country for the use of long time
contiacts by three fourths of them of
the Pullman sleeping car sstem a
branch of the companys business to
tally distinct from It manufacture of
cars for sale In the earl part of
May a committee of employes de-
manded a restoration of the wages of
a jear ago I explained to this com-
mittee minutely nnd laboriously the
facts showing tho compan was al-
ready paying moro than it was receiv-
ing for Its contract work nnd I of
feu d thtrin fur complete assurance to
end the question an Inspection Of
our books and contracts In hand Thii
nnd the beginning at once at Pullman
of ti promised careful Investigation of
a number of shop complaints seemed
to end all the trouble but a day later
under the excitement of the recruiting
In the new organization the work
men closed the shops by abandoning
their work thu themselves doing
what I was strenuously trjlng to pre
vent being done by the depression of
tno car uunuing business ana tne cm
plojes who quit their work have de-
prive 1 themselves and their compan-
ions of earnings of moro than JS00 000
up to this time The demand made be-
fore quittlnr work was that the wages
should be restored to the scale of last
year or in effnt that the outgoing
money losse being daily lncuried by
the compan In car building should
be dellbtraMy Increased to an amount
equal to about otn fourth of the wages
of the employes It must be clear to
every business man and to every
thinking man that 119 1 rudent employer
could afford to submit to arbitration
the question of whether he should com-
mit such a piece of business folly Ar-
bitration always implies acquiescence
In the decision of the arbitrator wheth-
er favorable or adverse How could I
as president of tho Pullman company
consent to agree that If any body of
men not concerned with the Interests
of the company s shareholders should
net as arl lira tors for any reason seem-
ing good to them to so decree I would
open the shops employ workmen at
wages greater than their work could
re sold for and continue this ruinous
policy Indefinitely or be accused of a
breach of faith

The great Industrial upheaval now

Chicago July 13 A joint meeting SUTSl1
of the executive board of the American mer ltmt lt necessarily follows that

cuislon followed and adjournment was
taken to 10 o clock Jn the morning
Tho feeling against the managers was
very bitter but the conclusion was to
wait until the general managers had
acted on the proposition before taking
any further action themselves The
Knights of Labor representatives at
the meeting were In full accord with
the American Railway union ant
agreed to stand by them to tho end
President Debs said at the close of
the meeting that the union had made
its last overtures to the general man-
agers It had gone more than half
way If the present proposition was
Ignored or rejected the strike would be
renewed with greater force and con
tinued until the railway people gave in
The people had appealed to the railway
union to stop tne strike Hereafter
they must appeal to the railway man-
agers The burden of future trouble
and loss of business must rest on their
shoulders Mr Debs added that there
had been no relaxation of the strike
It is on In force and would remain so
until an affirmative answer came from
the general managers If such an
answer was received the strike would
end In twenty minutes lie lntlmatpd
that the union had reserve orces which
it would can into action and that they
would be felt In their full strength
If necessary Jle said labor unions were
waiting patiently to be called on to
