President Ramsey Opposed to Railway Rate Regulation
Washington May 12 prime witness before the senate interstate commerce commission was President Joseph Raney Jr of the Wir es bush railroad who opposed giving the ICC power to fix rates. He warned the ratemaking hand would threaten 225000 miles of railroads and 1600000 direct workers on payrolls while affecting $2 billion in annual earnings and $15 million in related payments. No occasion to worry. New York May 11 President James W Alexander of the Equitable Life Assurance Society said thefts from the vaults were not a reason for alarm after a policy was stolen and used to secure a second loan of 27000 and the arrest of Samuel Lobiey. He noted a thorough after discovery review of policy scans by non regular staff on Sundays and nights showed only that one transaction. Mrs Benjamin Siroog secretary of Bankers Trust Co of New York shot herself in Englewood New Jersey during temporary insanity.
