"The sky se'ems to bi3 clearing a lit tle for the railroads." he added, "but similar action is being considered and taking place against many other kinds of business and unless you as indlvl duals and as organizations take an ac tive part in creating a sane and sensl ble public opinion about business, the same difficulty that now embarrasses tho railroads will spread and be ! menace to other enterprises."
