profits at the expense Of their comfort
and convenience, and In Vioiaeoh Oh
their undouhed rights.
They have endured submissively for
years what would not be tolerated IN
any other dty of it's rank In the world.
and the turning point has come at last.
1t won't do for the companies TO put
on a few more cars, or run on quicker
Roadway What the public demands
