18th 10 enable Congress to determine as
TO the advsability OF the acceptance Of

sale Of the Union Pacific separately the
United states government would be a
loser. while they Coates. Son COB
proposed TO pay the government IN full

asserts that the latest Schiff bid is very
little better than the previous bids and
that when Nr. Schif has secured the
Union Pacific he will have the Kansas di-
vision at his mercy and be able 10 get II at
follows.
