shippers are getting a slightly larger
percentage OF their car requirements

banking interests with close political
connections that participated Indirect

asserted, have been sufficiently pow
erful to tie the hands Of the republi-
cans elected to succeed the democrats.
The two representatives introduced
identical resolutions, providing for an
Investigation by a congressional COM

into all contracts and expenditures

found their efforts to safeguard the

blocked by higher officials when the
