Since the current advertisement (enclosed) outlines the situation in
some detail, I shall not attempt to cover it in this letter. However,
I believe you will agree that the railroads of this country need the
services of "a new and efficient sleeping car operating company that
can, and will buy sleeping cars competitively in quantity and service
them economically." Otherwise, the average sleeping car passenger
will have a slim prospect for a comfortable ride in a car equipped
with modern conveniences and improvements.
It has often been demonstrated that the public can have anything it
wants -- if it makes its position clear. The public certainly did make
its position clear on through sleeping car service and the Black Market
in Pullman space.
We hope and believe the public will be equally clear in its demand for
modern sleeping cars at reasonable cost for all railroads that need them.
Your newspaper editor, I am sure, will be as interested as I will be in
any comments or suggestions that you may care to offer.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Young.
