Secretaries Probe Suspend Action Against Montana Timber Growers

About 40,000,000 feet of timber plus cordwood and railroad ties are involved. The move cites lack of accessible evidence to sustain the cases. The dispute evokes criticism of railroad influence in party politics and a sense of interwoven business and political interests.
