BRYAN SAYS HARRIMAN IS CREATING
SENTIMENT FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
7 W'ANl FAIR PLAY,
iV07 A 'SQUARE DEAL'"
Washington, March 2.—“The president, 1 believe, Is right In what he
lx trying to do, but he Is not going about It In the right way, because of
his lack of business knowledge or training.”* declared E. II. Harriman,
head of the Harrlnmn lines, who arrived her4 yesterday.
“It would scene that the Interstate commerce commission Is hardly ‘
fair In Its proceeding. The members would produce better results If
they untild try to co-operate with Che business Interests of the country
instead of antagonizing them.
“Hut the fever seems to b»* on n o\v7"however. There is little-Incentive
for a man to hi* successful, but I am sure that the old American spirit
• •f fair play will prevail In the end. That Is more to the purpose than a
'square deni.* We may have u ‘equate deal,* but unfair play. There
M*etns to he a tendency among all unsuccessful people to assail those who
are successful.”
E. H. HARRIMAN.

The spoliation of the public has
been going on for years, but Investiga

facts. The facts cun not fall to be of,

“During the present era of unprece

people have a right to complain when
the railroad owners refuse to share
their vast profits In even the slightest
degree with their employees, but In

entire extra expense."
