doubt that the plan Will fail in ambitious attempt

Committee may have something to do with the re-
fusal OF the Granger companies TO assent TO the

pcon that the scheme might result only in exposing
their business TO the man who IS supposed to be
largely Interested in the Southwestern railroads

Granger companies unable TO perceive tho widely
