Railroad home committee hears plan to publish donors list
A meeting at the Business Men's club aims to decide whether to publish the complete list of sponsors for the A.A. bonus. Committees push for higher subscriptions, hoping to swell totals by urging current subscribers to increase contributions. A letter from Joseph Shannon Carn argues for enlarged railroad projects and stronger funding from Chicago and other cities, while Hust & Brundage say they will raise their own subscription if others follow.
