 Scarcely any of the Taft members of the committee would discuss today's meeting. One. however said:
 We are going to stand on our ac- tions, regardless of the remarks of per- sons who are prejudiced and unfair. The work speaks for itself and that is all there is to 1t. There is but one way to handle unreasonable people and that is to ignore them"
