Monopoly of the smoking car and the great rail plan
A fragment from a humor piece contrasts monopoly in social seating with the law and shows a jesting barb about a juror and a man who funds a home for servant girls. It also notes a wartime American rail order for 150000 tons of 80 pound rails to France and discusses the implications for American industry and standards. The excerpt ends with a quip about turning away a suitor for a daughter.
