there and they were solid, substan

governors, railroads’ representatives,
government officials and people of
that class. There were representa
tives of 36 states present. The i ail-
road men said they were in favor of
the movement; that they believed
the improvement of the internal
waterways of the country would
benefit their own business; that the
congestions, occurring on railway
lines from time to time, w ould be
relieved; that, as a matter 6f fact,
the business of some of the compan
ies had increased so enormously that
they could not handle it with promp*>
titude; that the strikes constantly
occurring were very annoying and
interfered with prompt delivery;
that it would take millions of dollars
and a long time to place the great
railway lines in that condition they
should be m as to track and rolling
stock,”
