PULLMAN

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 644 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PULLMAN , formerly a town of Cook county,
Illinois
 , U.S.A., and now a
part
  of the city of Chicago. Here are the works of the Pullman Palace Car
Company
 , steel
forging
 
plants
 , and other factories. The
place
  was founded in 188o by George Mortimer Pullman (18311897), the inventor of the Pullman sleeping car, and the founder (1867) of the Pullman Palace Car
Company
 , who attempted to make it a " model town." Even the public works were the property of the Pullman Company and were managed as a business investment. Popular discontent with the conditions led to the annexation of Pullman to Chicago in 1889, but until 1910 the
corporation
  held most of the property. In June and July 1894 a
bitter
  railway strike developed from a controversy between employed and employers in the Pullman works. (See CHICAGO and
ILLINOIS
 : History.)
