Pullman Getting Men.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-The gates of the Pullman company's plant were besieged this morning by a host of striking employees, who came seeking work and who signified their willingness to go back to their old positions.
At 9 o'clock the foreman found that he had 1,778 men on hand ready for work. Others who are competent and willing to begin work just as fast as those parts of the works now closed can be started will be given work.
All old employees returning will get their places back, until the full quota of men needed is at work. As that full number of men is about 2,000, the officials of the company feel certain that it will not be long until the works will be running full blast again.
