Railroads Fight Propaganda Claims Amid Wage Board Testimony
In Chicago May 7 Western railroads deny W J Laucks charge of waste in financial and operating management as propaganda aimed at undermining private control and promoting the Plumb plan. Presidents Markham Holden Byram Finley Gorman Felton say capitalization not excessive and that rates follow Interstate Commerce Commission valuations. They contend purchases from many suppliers negate a single financial grip and note rapid locomotive improvements over the past decade.

Fireman Credits Tanise Medicine for Turnaround
A Oklahoma City fireman describes a severe illness leaving him weak and in pain. He credits Tanlae 68 with restoring health, gaining weight, and enabling him to return to duty, praising the medicine's effects and urging others to try it.
Lauck’s Capital Ask and Rail Cost Concerns
The discussion centers on capital needs for rail improvements and a critic’s charge that railways have not fully utilized higher locomotive output. It notes trainload growth from 893 tons in 1915 to 6.3 tons in 1920, a 61 percent rise, and cites alleged waste. It also covers loss and damage payments rising from 3,000,000 in 1917 to 106,804,000 in 1919 under government control, with a defense of unified control but critique of its savings potential.

Reserve Board Opposes San Antonio Branch Bank Plan
Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board opposes establishing a San Antonio branch, a stance conveyed to local bankers. The Dallas clearing house committee, led by Judge W. F. Ramsey, faces continued opposition from Eleventh District officials and the board. Local bankers argue San Antonio, the district’s largest city, needs a branch to support large banking power and reduce costly delays in reserve and payroll operations.
