in the history, of A meri can railroads
and A meri can' f i nance, was revealed
i n part today by the I nterstate C om-
merce commi ssi on in a report to the
senate of its i nvesti gati on of the road.
I t told of mi lli ons used li ke stage

depar t ment of justi ce . has been f ur -
ni shed wi th ft complete' record of
these, secured by,: the commi ssi on, but
there, i s ho federal . st at ut e under
whi ch the ' . government: can aid the
stockholders- in recovery .of any of
thei r losses. A suggestion is made
thai any expendi tures'i n vi olati on of
the anti - trusl act were beyond the
powers' of the directors; and raises the
questi on of whether tiie di rectors may
not be held personally j responsi ble to
sati sf y any losses whi ch resulted.

'clares, "cannot wi t hout account abi li t y

dummy di rectors, mani pul at ed ac

"I f these di rectors who were f ai t h -

to do those thi ngs they should ha,vp

says the report. "M ost of the di rect -
