When I typed in "Pullman Palace Car" into the newspaper database I expected to find a multitude of articles about the strike or the Union conflict but instead stumbled across this short one detailing an announcement of a 5% raise to employees that have been working at the Pullman factories for over 15 years. It described the Pullman company as 'benevolent' and 'gracious' for having done this even though it meant nothing to those who had been working for Pullman for less than 15 years.

I found this article later. After sifting through small mentions of Pullman Palace Cars I found an entire page in the Chicago The Day Book talking heatedly about Marshall Field III and what a young rich giant is is coming to be. The author implied that he has control over several major monopolies including The Pullman Palace Car Co. and felt very strongly that Mr. Field should learn about what really goes on in the companies (such as working conditions, worker's wages, how much stock has been invested etc.) before the money is delivered to his door. I found it fascinating that someone had the guts to speak so candidly about a prominent figure in Chicago and directly critique his management of the money he was inheriting. It only slightly connected to the Pullman Palace Car Co. but I think lent me some insight into how the public felt about its company-managing, money-guzzling tycoons of American industry.
