The Situation of the c. s. L. Airline from

E. B. Stahlmau, Vice-president or the LOUIS

in the city. His tone was conservative. Hesaid

ton or approval; that a prominent Panhandle
official was chairman of this committee OF mana

call meeting, and hence the responsibility for
failure to settle all differences rested entirely
with the Panhandle road.
In reference to the aggressive movement in
opening of the Airline Mr.. Stahl-
man said the Airline had been
ready for through passenger traffic
for some time; that his company had been led to
beIeve all along that it would he admitted TO
privileges in the Union depoT, and not until last
week were they apprised of the fact that the
s.1misslOn of the Louisville, New Albany Chi-
cago depended entirely upon lis Willingness TO

Being asked why he thought Mr. MeCrea took

locked Upon Mr. MeCsea ms Il man of ability and
integrity. but in this controversy he had been
utterly unable to dIvesr himself of self-interest

Being asked how long the contest wOud prob
