10 the injury done first-class passengers
| by the railroad companies In not providing
| sufficient seatlng-room for them in ;hei;
| own coaches, and thus forcing them. no
| lens vOlans, into the Pullman cars, was
! timely and true. Every one who travels
| AT all meets with this experience. and II
is a nuisance and eXtortion. our rail

| vide their passengers with the seats which
| their tickets entitle them 10.
