tariff that can be obtained.-St. Louis

managers.
The committee did the decapitating
behind locked doors, and the only in
formation that would be given out was:
Foster forfeited the confidence of the
committee. Consequently we had no
further use for him. You can draw
your own conclusions.
Some of the allegations underlying
the cause are for the decapitation are
that Foster has been writing contiden-
tial letters to railroad managers, in
GLIDING one TO President Ledyard. of
he Michigan Central, which Mr.. Led
yard turned oyer TO man who is in
Lansing today.
Foster, it is represented, does not

warm sympathy for the railroads in |
The light Gov. Pingree is making on

he may be abe to render some service
