DENY MAKING EX'
ORRlTANT PROFITS.

The deny that they have made ex-
orbitant profits, but the obsession
which one finds in administration cir
Giles is that the operators have made
big profits and should be required to
stand the raise. There's the real rub
The operators will nght such an idea
tooth and nail.
AS for the profits Of the Operators,
it is truS that the Administration
takes it's stand on what William G..
McAdoo claimed in a public statement
recently. The operators accused him
of Quitting in" and he was criticised
by certain newspapers for "blabbing
facts that he got in confidence while
