COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—With reference to "Observer's" letter in your issue of the 15th instant, tnere are quite a number of trains with carriages reserved for women only. Why should not smoking carriages or part I of them be reserved for men only ? Commercial travellers do not necessarily object to the presence of ladies in "smokers, but they would justifiably feel grieved if "Obeei-ver's" good lady was occupying a seat in a "smoker" to the exclusion of commercial travellers, when there were vacant seats in other portions of the train. It may be of interest' to. Observer" to. know that commercial travellers get no concessions whatever from the Railway Department, while the farmer gets more concessions than llie whole of the vest of the community put together. Compared with "The- Man on the Road and the commercial section of the population, generally, it is a wellknown fact that "The Man on the Land" is spoon-fed.—l am, etc., i- 41 a. , SAMPLES. 1/th March.
