Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Shippers; Their True Relation to the Railway Problem: An Address Before Central States Conference on Rail and Water Transportation, Evansville, Indiana, December 15, 1915
In like manner, and because of the necessary ah sence of Mr. George A. Post, president of the Rail way Business Association, I am responding to the call of that association as one of its vice-presidents - thus appearing in a somewhat dual capacity.
The direct business with which I am identified is such that it is allied with both of these associations. As criticism, or question may arise as to the nu biased view point of a company selling its products to railways, I trust you will permit me to say that 70 per cent of my company's business is entirely removed from railway contact - but 30 per cent hav ing such contact.
These conditions being explained to 001. Murphy, he requested that the cause of the shipper be pre sented on broad lines.
In this effort, there may be some advantage in having two angles, or View points, each of which may be tested by its effect upon the other - the two fold relation thus perhaps serving to induce a broader and fairer consideration of the question in volved.
It is not my purpose to speak as a shipper from individual, local, community or district standpoint; but rather from the broad lines of the whole subject.
