service on the c. & o. was referred to
the committee for action. Chairman
Gordon promised that he would do his
utmost to get conditions bettered, and
to make the effort good and strong he
would get the cooperation of the
chairman of the state committee as
also the committee of the Central Pas
senger Association. 1t is to be hoped
Post C's railroad committee may ac-
complish good results.
