treatment of patrons by employees of
the company. Complaints have been
made from various sources of discour-
tesy to freight and passenger patrons
on the part of our agents, or their
representatives, at several of our sta
tons, and also inattention of conduct
ors and brakemen to properly care for

see that our patrons are treated at all
times with politeness and courtesy, not
