"INSIDERS"
Profit From Bankrupt Road
ManipulatiOns

New York.-Interstate commerce
commission hearings on the bankrupt
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road reveal how bankers profit by
these railroad reorganizations.
1t was shown that one firm put up
$25, 100000 for seven days to convert
French bonds to dollar basis and
made profit of $1,S13,000 out of the
transaction.
A syndicate of 85 members was
formed to dispose of 100000 worth
of bonds that were bought at 93A
These bonds were eventually sold to
the public at 96A, or a profit of $50
per $1,000.
Engineers who were commissioned
to study the condition Of the road be-
fore it went into bankruptcy "tip-
ped" one banking firm that the report
would be unfavorable. Prior to this,
representatives of the bank were as
sured by the president of the road
that an unfavorable report would
mean a receivership.
