What Others Say:

Documentary evidence was laid
before the senate Investigating
committee last week that the 1926
1927 receivers of the Chicago, Mil
waukee g. st. Paul Travelled in pri-
waite cars in pleasure jaunts to Gall
ifornia, Tampa, Fla, and other
points. Senator Truman (Dem.,
MOI, chairman of the Investigating
committee, reasonably said, II have
no quarrel with trips for business
purposes, but I certainly don't APP
prove of all these pleasure trips
being made at the expense of a
railroad in receivership."
Most of the correspondence put
in the committee records one day
dealt with trips taken by one of
the receivers with his family to
Florida, California, Alaska and
ether points. One letter related to
the use of a private car by Joshua
Green of Seattle, a director of the
company, to go on hunting trip,
although Mr.. Green, according to
the testimony of Mark w. Potter,
one of the receivers, seldom at
tended directors meetings.
Mr.. Potter said use of private
cars for such purposes was "the
general practice, whether right or
wrong" He testified that, as a re-
ceiver, he was paid $4,000 a month
and given an additional fee Of
100000 when he completed his
work II would like to be a receiver
for one of these big railroads."
commented Senator Truman. cit
seems to have been a very lucrative
and pleasant job"
The senate Investigating commit
tee is performing a valuable service
1t would have been better for
everybody--the producers, the con.
sumers, railway labor and the
stockholders of the Railroads.&c. the
searchlight had been turned upon
the operations of the great railroad
systems many years ago.
