Herbert J. Smith. 69, retired Milwaukee railroad carpenter, at first felt that he was out of place, then found himself the guest ot honor at the meeting. Smith said afterward that he had always wanted to see how big business was run, especially In "his" railroad. He found out —in a hurry. Dressed in his best suit, with a winged collar and neat tie, Smith went up to the Union depot of the Milwaukee railroad hene. He presented his credentials ami found but a handful of the roomful of people he had expected to see. "They asked who 1 was,” hie related. "Then 7 met Harry E. Bryam, chairman of the board of directors, and Henry Scaudrett, president of the road. I felt kind of funny. "First thing I knew, it was all over. They had read the minutes, elected the board of directors, and adjourned. Well, sir, it kind of looks to me that the whole thing is run from New York. All of the other owners of shares voted by proxy. It must have been cooked up beforehand. They're fast workers. "They asked me to luncheon after the meeting, and since 1 hadn't had anything for dinner yet, 1 went along and ate roast beef with them. "They were kind of quiet, but asked me what I thought ot business conditions. Someone said he thought things were getting better. 1 told them things were all right but they'd have to use all the extra surplus up first before things would be good again. And they said that's what they thought too. "I told them about my work, that I was a carpenter all my life and had worked for oqr road in the West Milwaukee shops. I saw howbig business was run and now 1 m satisfied. o * — — 4 Reformed Program Is Well Received | « * The orphan home children from the Fort Wayne orphanage who appeared in a program at' the Zion Reformed church last night pleased the large audience that was present in presenting their numbers in an accomplished way.
