Ask Public to Give
Opinions to Railroads

"What causes lack of confidence in
railroads." This question is asked the
public in a bulletin which has been
issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad
In the form of a poster Copies will
be prominently displayed in waiting
rooms, ticket and freight offices, and
in other public places on the Pennsyl-
vania System.
"The management of this railroad
wants to get at the causes, wherever
they exist and remove them," says the
poster. THE starting point is to get
the people who do lack confidence in
this railroad to say so and tell why"
The poster invites serious sugges-
tions from all railroad patrons as to
ways in which the service may be inn
proved and a better understanding
brought about between those who Use
the railroads and those who manage
them
