Branch of Canal Work Is Prey of Grafters
New York reports Congressman H T Rainey of Illinois after eight days in the Panama Canal Zone returns enthusiastic about progress but sharply critical of commissary management. He charges overworked staff, mis-directed supplies, overpriced meals for a visit by Congress, and graft claims including garlic gravy served meals and inflated costs. He cites steel and rail progress, with 115 miles of trackage and 600 daily trains, plus rapid excavation and planned five year completion if pace holds.
