Dan Conway is the middle-aged president of the
Phoenix-Durango railroad. Running a railroad is just about the only thing he knows. When the
Anti-dog-eat-dog Rule is used to drive his business out of
Colorado, he loses the will to fight, and resigns himself to a quiet life of books and fishing. He claims that somebody had to be sacrificed, it turned out to be him, and he has no right to complain, bowing to the will of the majority. When pressed he says he doesn't really believe this is right, but he can't understand why it is wrong and what the alternative might be. He is trapped by a moral code that makes him a willing victim, and rather than challenge that morality, he simply gives up.
Dan Conway appears in:
Section145
Section146
