Pullman was called be­ fore the Labor Commission in Chicago, and testified for three hours. He spoke of the motives which- had caused the Company to build its plant in the way it haa done and to provide homes for its workmen. He said that the object in bui:dirig Pullman was the establishment of a great manu­ facturing business on the most sub­ stantial basis possible.

Accordingly (Me. Pul)tnan continued), the present location of Pullman was* se­ lected. That region of the country was then very sparsely populated, a very few hundred people, mostly farmer*, living within a radios of perhaps a mile and a half of the she selected, where thfere are now living some 25,000 people. It was not the Intention to sell to worklngtuen homes in Pullman, but to so limit the are t of the town that they coald buy homes at con­ venient distances from the works if they chbse to do sa If any lots had been sold in Pullman, it would have permitted the introduction of the baleful elements which it was the chief purpose to exclude from the immediate neighborhood of the stiops and from the homes to be erected about them. The plan was to provide hoines In the first place for all people who should desire to work in the shops, at reasonable rentals, with the dkpectation thatTasthey became able and should desire to do so, they could purchase lots and erect honie^ for themselves within convenient dis­ tances, or avail themselves of the opp ir- tunity to rent-'homes from other people who should bulla In that vicinity. As a matter of fact, at the time of the strike 563 of the shop employes owned their homes, and 461 of that number are now employed in the shops; 500 others at the time of the strike lived outside, and in ad­ dition an estimated number of from SOU to #00 others employed at Pullman were own­ ers of tlieir homes. 1 he relations of those employed in the shops are, as to the shops, the relations of employe* to employer, and as to those and others living in the homes, the relations are simply and only these of tenant to landlord, 'ihe company has not now. and never has had, any ihteiest what­ ever In the business of any of the stores or shops in the town. They are rented through and managed by outside parties, free from any control by the companv. Tho people living In the town are entirely free to buy where they choose, and. as a matter of fact. »he large disbursement in wa;es at Pullman, amounting to an averago of $2,360,000 a year, from September, 188a. to July. 1894, has created a great competition for the trade of Pullman in the surround­ ing towns, as well as in Chicago, the nat­ ural result of which would be to bring the prices ot all merchandise down to a mini­ mum. The basis upon which rents were fixed originally In 1881. said Mr. Pullman, was 0 percent, but the actual operations had never shown a net return of 6 per cent. For several years the investment returned a net revenue of 4% percent, but during the last two years had netted a revenue of only 3.82 per cent. In answer to questions by the Commis» sioners the witness iold of ihe' contracts for work undertaken by the company at a loss in order that the men might be kept at work- He said that up to the time of the strike the company had lost over S50.000 In pursuit of that policy. Mr. Pullman's further testimony reviewed his utterances in pamphlet form and newspa* per interviews which have been made pub­ lic heretoforei Wlckes Testifies. Eecond Vice President Thomas |L Wickes. of the Pullman Company, on being called to the stand, said that the contracts taken at a loss to the com­ pany had aggregated CI. 400.000. Oj these contracts the company loot!52.00!V_Tbe wages paldlo Vorkmtii hgd increased $<J0.030. Mr Wlcl lies'"id mhted that uosslbly it would have been bet:§r for th$ company * t o Yusiafn the loss of 960,909 plus the S52.000 than allow the strike to occur, Lut be did not think it would be a very good TUOMAS H. WICKES.Poiicy. The Pullman company has at piesent 2.600 cars, includ­ ing sleeping, dining and chair cara About 400 of these are lying Idle, and are side-tracked most of the time. These cars were carried on the books of the company as an iletn of the surplus of $25.- 000,0JO. For this reason that surplus was lu part fictitious. Witness suld the back rent now owing the company 'amounted to about $100,000." Almost no effort has been made to collect any ot this since the strike. No eviction list has been prepared and no evictions have been ordered. In Mr. Wickes' opinion, tho fact that rents in settlements adjacent to Pullman ,had dropped from 12 to 15 per cent. wa< nq reason why the rents in Pullman should be. lowered.

If he was railed for jury duty in a case where the Pu'.lman Company was one of the litigants the fact that he had a Pullman pass would, upon Sits disclosure before his acceptance, be cause for his instant rejection. If the discovery was made after a verdict it would be sutfeient causo for the grant­ ing of a new trial or the setting agide of the verdict. And the same would be true if he was the trial judge.-- Terre Haute Expiess. Their WUd Clamor of Merchants to Oet Imports Out of Bond. The customs receipts at Chicago on the day preceding the going into ef­ fect of the new tariff law lar exceeded any sum heretofore collected. The cash received amounted to nearly $1.00,000, while the largest receipts for any other one day were $€0,0J0. In New York, before the opening of the Cus- tom-hcuse, a crowd of brokers nearly broke down the doors, and alter these were unlocked tbey mobbed the ro* tunda and ttie third division. During the exciting crush in the rotunda an importer of dress goods was heard to shout in jubilation that he had saved $3,0U0 Dy keepin g his goods in bond till that day. In importance and receipts the four great ports rantc in this order: New York, boston, Philadelphia, Chicago.

There are other ports at which custom­ houses are maintained at an actual loss to the gjvernment, but their presence at these places is rendered necos.-ary as a precaution against smuggling ana for other reasons. For instance, the Vicksburg custom-houso last year col­ lected $18.&% and it cost $2 . 4 for every dollar received. At St. Marks, Cedar Keys, Fla., three employes are kept at the custom-house at an expense of $.',378.72 The receipts were $x0.i$7, or $221*. 38 for euch dollar collected. The Teche (La.) custom-house sup­ ports three persons at a cost to the Go\ ernment of ^?,5 They collected $14 .55, at a cost of $244.87 per dollar. At Annap .lis two employes gathered in $2.35 at .an expenditure of $393.53 per dollar. But the Government's greatest luxury in maintaining a cus­ tom hefu e is at *Natcnez, Miss. There two employes, receiving $500..^0, suc­ ceeded in garnering 50 cents, or at tl?e rate of $1,0 1 per dollar. To eell a pack of playing cartts now without a 2 cent revenue otamp is an offense punishable by tine and impris­ onment. A new system of gauging also went into effect which, it is thought, will materially increase the revenues from the distilleries. The income tax is not collective until the first of the year. It is estimated that from this source the Government will receive $20,Q0J,000 annually. - , The Armor-Plate Scandal.
