Every possible means viii be used by the

10 prevent the business. men and railway

Of the movement OF grain from the West
The effort already made by Canadian in

riously considered by the business men in

1t is stated that up to the present time
the business men Of Montreal have been
most successful IN securing contracts for
the movement Of grain from the West.
These contracts, it is acknowledged have
already affected the commercial interests OF
the Lakes and Gulf and Atlantic seaports
The remedy suggested by those interested
