The Journal says: "So more work will ever be done in the present shops of the Pullman Palace Car coinpany at Pullman. Whatever may be the outeome of the existing railroad strike these big shops will never be opened for work again. ïhey are tobe moved f rom Pullman to New Jersey. That mach has been decided upon by the company, which is now only awaiting the termination of the strike to begia the work of removal. "This abandoning of Pullman by the Pullman company will be a serious blow to not only that place, but Chicago as well. The loss of that great industry will, of course, fait heavily upou the old employés, but il wil! also be feit by Chicago, tor it means the removal from the city ol a lnrge amount of capital, while storekeepers at Pullman and vicinity will lose the tmde of over 3,0j0 operaiives, which means the almost aosolute ruinatiou of their business. "In spe akiug of the uVcision of the Pullman company to remove the works from Pulman, Vice President Wickes said yesterday: 'Xo matter how tliis strike ends the Pullman shops will not be opened. We are going to move them from there to a state where we will he assured of protection in the prosecution of our business.' "What state is that?" Wickes was asked. "New Jersey," he replied. "The removal of tlie shops to a point in that state has been decided upon, and we are only waiting for this strike to end to begin the work of removal from Pnllman. It doesn't matter what the result of the strike is; to New Jersey the works are going, aud there we are sure of beiug protected from lawlessuess of all kinds."
