The discriminatory practice OF

SALE OF M.&ST. |.
IS DEFERRED FOR
YEAR SAYS RYAN
Resolution introduced in Con-
gress Holds that Railway
be Given Chance

Congressman Elmer j. Ryan re-
ports that plans for the sale, re-
organization or disbursement of
the M and st. l. railroad and pro-
posed loans to purchasers of por-
tions of the road, have been defer
red for a period of one year, ac-
cording to resolution by the sem
ate and house of representatives.
The resolution was introduced
by a committee of congressman
and senators representing the
sections in which the railroad is
located, Congressman Ryan being
a member of the committee.
Mr.. Ryan voiced an objection to
the RFC lending money to other
railroads to finance the purchase
and dismemberment of the M and
St. L road, in a conference with
Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC.
The period of one years defer
ment was granted, in order that
all concerned, including citizens of
the area served, road employees,
creditors and others may have an
opportunity to promote the public
interest and encourage the reor-
ganization of the railroad.
