 Anybody who has had business dealings to any great extent with rail roads, knows there are men who will not know one in a business way till one has made peace with them" said a railroad supply man.
 What do you mean by that?' was the question.

 You mean the railroad officials simply hold you up?"
 That is just the point. can quote you a number of instances of that nature. It is not pleasant, but what can you do?"
