transcOntinental reads are buying tonnage

for an increased subsidy, but the transcOn-
tinental roads have done nothing about il.
think the Pacific Mail is doing better than il
could If it went ont. As to the railroad situa-
ton in general. the trouble we are hearing sc

purely and simply from the fact that the
owners of the railroads are not their mana
gers. The stockholders will have to learn
by hard knocks and blows what they are
refusing to learn by arguments"
