Show Back Talk. Howard Elliott, the president of the New Haven lines, said at a dinner In New York: "I don't encourage back talk among our employes far from It but 1 must say my sympathies are rather with one of our conductors who ventured, ven-tured, under great provocation, on a little back talk the other day. "As the conductor was punching tickets, a man said to him with a nasty sneer: " 'You have a lot of wrecks on this road, don't you?' " 'Oh, no,' said the conductor. 'You are the first I've seen for some time.' " |
