The railroads have employed their
sharpest lawyers to make a thorough
examination of the measure, which
was passed, ostensibly in the interest
of the ''dear peopla" and they declare
that before they are done with it this
entire act will be punched so full OF

This ought not to create any surprise
in the minds of those who fully appre-
ciate the personel of the United States

trusts and combines, who are pledged

of exceeding cunning and utterly re-
gardless of the rights of the public, who
can always be trusted to work for the
corporations.
When it became evident that the
railroad rate bill could not be laughed
out of Congress, these men set thei'
