51 CONFESSIONS OF A PULLMAN CONDUCTOR VI. CONDUCTORS IN STRIPES. ASIDE from this the conductor is decorated with two stripes on his free uniform. In Europe the rich have a system of dressing their servants in livery, with a Httle "coat of arms" stamped over their right eye, or in some other conspicuous spot, which indicates the master to whom they belong. So the Pullman company has adopted that system and makes its servants wear its little badge. Also every five years they get a stripe. In cert...ain places of confinement in this country one gets his stripes before he serves his time, but with the Pullman 52 CONFESSIONS OF A PULLMAN CONDUCTOR company he serves his time before he gets his stripes. But the stripes that the state hands its victims are woven round a canvas suit, while the ones the Pullman com- pany give are sewn around the left arm. Both kinds denote serving time and mean slavery. After a conductor gets three stripes or more, the company knows it has got him for life. Nothing in my opinion shows plainer that you are an utter failure than to have three or four stripes on your arm that you have received for collecting divi- dends for the Pullman company.
