Head of Western Union Leader Robert C Clowry Named Meanest Man
C D Hanks of Salt Lake City brands Lieut Col Robert C Clowry president of Western Union as the meanest man in the world. President Small, the strike leader, backs the charge and accuses subordinates of willful breach of an agreement after the last strike. Clowry rose from a six month trainee in Joliet to company president over fifty years of service. He served as a captain in the Civil War and retired as lieutenant colonel. A loner since his wife’s early death, he finds pleasure among peers and in business rather than society.
