Illinois Central Graft Ties Up Dads Earnings Losses
The Illinois Central Railway faces heavy losses due to grafting officials and dishonest repair firms and low freight rates. Comptroller Blauvelt testified before the Interstate Commerce Commission that without rate increases the road may not pay dividends for two years. He cited about $300,000 allegedly stolen and unusual maintenance costs cutting the surplus to about $230,000. President Harahan supported rate hikes as necessary and warned fortunes hinge on favorable decision. Market figures for livestock follow with mixed receipts and prices in East Buffalo.
