Excerpt from Misrepresentation in Railroad AffairsThe earliest public reference that Mr. Ripley made to the case is to be found in a single para graph of the report of the U. S. Industrial Com mission of 1901. The report is signed by the Commissioners, not by Professor Ripley, but the latter says he wrote it, and doubtless he did. As it shows what he first thought of the Alton business, and what the Commission thought of it, at a time when all the details of the reorgani zation were known or readily accessible, I quote the paragraph in full.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
