No
,
sir
,
I
spoke
to
his
secretary
.
"
"
What
did
he
tell
you
?
Just
what
did
he
say
?
"
The
young
man
hesitated
and
looked
more
unhappy
.
"
What
did
he
say
?
"
"
He
said
that
Señor
d
‘
Anconia
said
that
you
bore
him
,
Mr
.
Taggart
.
"
The
proposal
which
they
passed
was
known
as
the
"
Anti
-
dog
-
eat
-
dog
Rule
.
"
When
they
voted
for
it
,
the
members
of
the
National
Alliance
of
Railroads
sat
in
a
large
hall
in
the
deepening
twilight
of
a
late
autumn
evening
and
did
not
look
at
one
another
.
The
National
Alliance
of
Railroads
was
an
organization
formed
,
it
was
claimed
,
to
protect
the
welfare
of
the
railroad
industry
.
This
was
to
be
achieved
by
developing
methods
of
co
-
operation
for
a
common
purpose
;
this
was
to
be
achieved
by
the
pledge
of
every
member
to
subordinate
his
own
interests
to
those
of
the
industry
as
a
whole
;
the
interests
of
the
industry
as
a
whole
were
to
be
determined
by
a
majority
vote
,
and
every
member
was
committed
to
abide
by
any
decision
the
majority
chose
to
make
.
"
Members
of
the
same
profession
or
of
the
same
industry
should
stick
together
,
"
the
organizers
of
the
Alliance
had
said
.
"
We
all
have
the
same
problems
,
the
same
interests
,
the
same
enemies
.
We
waste
our
energy
fighting
one
another
,
instead
of
presenting
a
common
front
to
the
world
.
We
can
all
grow
and
prosper
together
,
if
we
pool
our
efforts
.
"
"
Against
whom
is
this
Alliance
being
organized
?
"
a
skeptic
had
asked
.
The
answer
had
been
:
"
Why
,
it
’
s
not
‘
against
’
anybody
.
But
if
you
want
to
put
it
that
way
,
why
,
it
’
s
against
shippers
or
supply
manufacturers
or
anyone
who
might
try
to
take
advantage
of
us
.
Against
whom
is
any
union
organized
?
"
"
That
’
s
what
I
wonder
about
,
"
the
skeptic
had
said
.
When
the
Anti
-
dog
-
eat
-
dog
Rule
was
offered
to
the
vote
of
the
full
membership
of
the
National
Alliance
of
Railroads
at
its
annual
meeting
,
it
was
the
first
mention
of
this
Rule
in
public
.
But
all
the
members
had
heard
of
it
;
it
had
been
discussed
privately
for
a
long
time
,
and
more
insistently
in
the
last
few
months
.
The
men
who
sat
in
the
large
hall
of
the
meeting
were
the
presidents
of
the
railroads
.
They
did
not
like
the
Anti
-
dog
-
eat
-
dog
Rule
;
they
had
hoped
it
would
never
be
brought
up
.
But
when
it
was
brought
up
,
they
voted
for
it
.
No
railroad
was
mentioned
by
name
in
the
speeches
that
preceded
the
voting
.
The
speeches
dealt
only
with
the
public
welfare
.
It
was
said
that
while
the
public
welfare
was
threatened
by
shortages
of
transportation
,
railroads
were
destroying
one
another
through
vicious
competition
,
on
"
the
brutal
policy
of
dog
-
eat
-
dog
.
"
While
there
existed
blighted
areas
where
rail
service
had
been
discontinued
,
there
existed
at
the
same
time
large
regions
where
two
or
more
railroads
were
competing
for
a
traffic
barely
sufficient
for
one
.
It
was
said
that
there
were
great
opportunities
for
younger
railroads
in
the
blighted
areas
.
While
it
was
true
that
such
areas
offered
little
economic
incentive
at
present
,
a
public
-
spirited
railroad
,
it
was
said
,
would
undertake
to
provide
transportation
for
the
struggling
inhabitants
,
since
the
prime
purpose
of
a
railroad
was
public
service
,
not
profit
.
