Buder,
Pullman
, pp. 42-43; Menand,
The Metaphysical Club
, pp. 289-316. In 1894, a New York newspaper reprinted a letter from Pullman to “a prominent resident of Chicago,” amplifying the magnate's belief that the town had had a positive effect upon its workers. “You lay much stress on the fact that there has been no destruction of property at Pullman [during the strike]. . . . May not, perhaps, some credit be given to the administration of the company, which prohibits drinking saloons and provides various sources of elevation of character?”
