ed from tho graft proceedings in Satt

Washington, it has its hoadquartors in
Washington. Moreover, ono of the
leadors of the $5,000,000 conspiracy is
ono of tho chief actors in this latest
plot. ..
In short, tho big corporations, which
havo sighted the specter of indictment,
have banded together against tho com
mon foo. Combined they rcprosonb
ono of tho most powerful forces that
America has known, and they are pre
pared to expend a largo shore of tho un
