Resolution Adopted by the Third Annual Conclave of Mediators WHEREAS, The public press of the country has the con- fidence of the reading public; and, IVHEREAS, The hostile attitude of public opinion toward railroads in particular has caused the passage of numerous ill- advised and burdensome legislative enactments against the rail- roads of the country; and, WHEREAS, The railroads have thus been driven into tight straits by unreasonable legislative interference and find it in- creasingly difficult to geuge their cspeilses to fil their income; and, IVHEREAS, The correction of this situation lies in the hands of the public which gathers its information from the public press; be it therefore RESOLVED, That it be urged upon the public press to ex- ercise impartial and diligent care in the publication of facts con- cerning railroad matters; and, RESOLVED, That the Third Annual Cdnclave of Mediators, consisting of delegates from 31 states of the Union, the majority of whom obtain a living from the railroads, and whose future depends upon the prosperity of their employing concerns, pledge ourselves to render all possible assistance to newspapers and their representatives for the carrying out of the policy suggested herein, and to give all possible information to our immediate legislative representatives and railroad commissioners so they may be fully informed regarding these matters, to the end that they may be enabled intelligently to deal with this momentous problem in the future n.hich vitally affects not only our personal interests, but the general interest of thc whole public, and thnt the com- munities may receive all the advantage they are now being de- prived of through a lack of facilities due to the present harass- ment which we deplore.
