Railroad Aid Will Be Probed in Senate Inquiry
The June 30 Senate banking inquiry focused on Kuhn Loeb & Company helping the Pennsylvania Railroad expand its rail empire against J. P. Morgan & Company. Witness Henry H.

The session adjourns to October 3 for broader examinations of Morgan and Kuhn Loeb, with potential summer resumption if market-speculation evidence arises.
