Seeking Public Approval. Wl.atcver may bo the merits of the ? ?>i?t r??\ ersy between the railroads and trainmen of tin* country which threat en* to prcclpltatc a strike by the lat ter one sigulticant feature incident to the situation is the lavish use by the railroads of advertising space in news pa|K>rs all over the country. It Is a direct and extensive api>eal to the pub lie for its endorsement and strikingly Illustrates the changed attitude of the railroads and other large corporate in terests towards public opinion. It has not been so many years ago when the "public be damned" i>osltion was very largely occupied In such mat ters. llnl there ha-s been a gradual for saking of this arrogant view, and the taking of the public into their eonti denee has groWn to be more and more the rule of the railroads. The big in terests have come to realize apparently that the public's approval and friend ship I-. worth as mueh to them as It is t>> the individual or eomparatively small business- eoin ern. It is a whole some siun. The extensive employment of news j paper advertising likewise shows a largely increasing reeoguitioii of the faet that advertising pays. ? l>awson ' v,?: Fditors and People. 1 1 ? ? v* -| in | ht ? ??
