...insisted on paying a deck hand. There was another time that Leonor Fresnel Loree had Mr. Underwood up in the Delaware & Hudson's office, reciting a long table of statistics about ton-miles and locomotive-hours. Mr. Underwood listened to the end, then, pointing to the pictures of eight presidents of Mr. Loree's Delaware & Hudson, said he: "That's all very true.
